COTTON CANDY LOVE

So close for so long.
Then he takes a leave of absence.
His heart flies away.
His smile disappear into the dust.
Warm embraces fade into the horizon.
All the words of endearment dissolve into nothingness.
Sweet lips and kisses are but a dream of long ago.
Like cotton candy that was left out
on a warm and damp day
until the mist turns into drizzle
that slow pitter pattern of early rain
trickling slowly
then faster
until the downpour
snuffs out
that pink fluff
and all that's left
is a hardened mass of sugar
that even the passing dogs
turn their noses at.
