ODE TO THE CAKE LADY

By Shlomoh
7/1/09


She sweetens the lives of many
On their special days
And bakes from her heart
With Love
For Lovers.

She speaks to me
In hesitating cadences
As though
Not sure
Of her expectations,
Or mine.

Sweetest Cake Lady
Mix the ingredients
Of happiness,
Of possibilities,
Of sweetness
For me.

And I will sweeten
Your own
Days and nights
With the fulfillment
Of unspoken promises.
