My Affinity for All That’s Sweet..

Written for 3WW: Fidget, Affinity, Mention



My Affinity for All That’s Sweet..

Whenever there’s a
Whispering mention
Of affinity I had for sweets
I would fidget, because
In spite of my liking
I wasn’t allowed to
Go near those sweeties
Just because once upon a time
About a year ago
My sugar Levels touched 592
Surprised? Doctor too was,
And I… I wasn’t bothered
As they say- for me ignorance
Became a kind of a bliss..
But then I needed to try
And feel comfortable
Even in proximity of sweets
No fidgeting,
And I found a way
I decided to keep in touch
And talk to each one of
Sweeties, like, the other day
That piece of cake
Which would have
Enjoyed getting crushed
Under my teeth to finally
Become a part of
My inner space
Naughtily gestured to tempt me
Cajoled me, threw hints
And I went towards it
Lifted it, put it in a plate
And told it in my own
Sweet sugar coated voice,
‘’Hey, aren’t you
Looking so great, so brown,
Crisp and so very sweet, oh,

Tell me, are you a little
Less sugary today,”
And before it could respond
I handed over
The plate to my spouse
Ah, she is very nice
No need to mention, but
In spite of knowing all about
My affinity she doesn’t mind
If I keep it to talking
To all that’s sweet….
Appears abnormal, ha, ha,
But look at my sugar levels
Those are back to normal… .

  8. it's tough when something you love and crave can make hurt and harm you. if talking to sweets helps keep them from tempting too much, go for it!

  10. Loved your post Ramesh. I can't imagine not being able to have sweets. YIKES. I'm not sure it is healthy that you are talking to inanimate objects like sweets but ... ha ha.

    Thanks for sharing!

  13. You have a stronger will than I, my friend. I too talk to sweets, but it is always: "Ah, there you are, come here and be eaten." Impressively good!

  16. Ramesh, I agree with so many posters, you are a sweetie all by yourself. And your wife sounds like a darling, too, so watch those levels. 592, yikes!!

  18. When I talk to my sweeties they have to get very close to my lips to hear. Then they jump onboard because they are so full of love.
