THE CANDY JAR

She sits across from him ...
her two eyes fixed on the candy jar atop his table top fridge
beautiful, blue, ball like ...
There is another woman
Only a woman would appreciate this practical piece of art
at this exact spot
This other woman knows him well too
Well enough to know about his most unlikely addiction to sweets
Whoever she is, she thinks herself the madam
decorating her man's office!
For how long will she continue to fight silent wars with invisible women?
With his two eyes, he traces her stare to the
beautiful, blue, ball like candy jar
Four eyes are fixed on a jar
Two eyes fall
Two eyes fill up with tears
The beautiful, blue, ball like candy jar 
atop a white table top fridge in an executive office
is all the strength she needs to walk ...
... for good!

  1. Inside the beautiful, blue, ball like candy jar-
    are sweet dandy candy bars...
    As sweet as the heart inside the sweetheart across from him
    So sweet yet so dangerous- dangerous sweet
    Dangerous with sweetness so hard not be addicted- sweet addiction
    Fullness of sweetness- so hard to walk away
    But walking away is all for good...

  2. Questions should have been asked but
    "Four eyes are fixed on a jar
    Two eyes fall"
    enough to build an ASSUMPTION
    ...a valid one
