Cupcakes Delight
He weeps his heart, and hangs his head, He doubles back, and follows her back to bed, She says, " Some homes are towns and lives, while others wear their homes inside." And he keeps up though he's kept out, the volatile, the sudden frown. She makes up the cupcakes but they're never vegan are they? No they're never vegan are they? He makes a gift, and wrings his thumbs, the bubble bath, the tepid tub, Outside where the rains have gone long, something gives him something strong, And he picks up where he had left off, the trouble is he doesn't know when to back off, and the cupcakes aren't vegan, sweet and such spectacular, but they really aren't eaten, now that they've been made with eggs. No the cupcakes aren't vegan, though they are quite delicious. And he loves her forever, though he never eats again. No he never eats again. No he never eats again.

The Cupcakes Aren't Vegan, At Least I Don't Think They Are

My birthday comes in a little over 2 weeks and I think when people talk about birthdays, they are secretly talking about status in blocked hours. Somewhere in that 24 hour block, a person was born, and that person was me. .....well Yay I guess. I don't like my birthday. And the reasons for that, are more complicated than you think. When I was 13, I was really into cupcake birthday cakes. I asked for one, every year, for a long time. When I turned 15 and 16, my best friend baked me cupcakes and brought them to school for me, and I shared them with my peers. You see, I considered her my best friend, and I guess that's not enough to be the best friend. It's like unrequited love if you put poisonous platonic friendship in my blood first. When I turned 17, she did baked me my last set of cupcakes, but I no longer had a best friend. So I spent my birthday mentally by myself while my family sang otherwise. And right now, I hate cupcakes, and superhero films because they remind me of her. But saying that is the weakest thing to do, since everything, reminds me of her. I will never admit I loved her, the same way she will shamelessly say she never loved me. I can't hate her, but I can't see her without hating myself. You know age, goes up, the same way sadness, goes down. Pulling you into another 24 hour block just so you can say. "Hey. I made it another day." I will admit that every day without her is another day without cupcakes, and another day without sugar is another day without happiness. And people may have asked me "How can you flip-flop between preferences like you're not the biggest homosexual in the closet." So when I tell people I'm straight, they tell me I'm not allowed to change my mind. I loved her, but she left me and took all of my friends with her. And I thought that real friends wouldn't abandon me, but there is always time to be wrong. By the time my birthday comes, I'll be crying, and she doesn't even remember what day my birthday is on. By the time I read this out loud, I will have been through this birthday, like a person walks through fire. Turning 16 is less about age, then it is about school, and turning 18, is less about the number, and more about becoming an adult. And no amount of adult can neutralize pain. I have accepted the fact that no man will ever really want to marry me. And no Christian, will ever truly want to love me. And if I am wrong, I will have to repeat this lost love forever dragging it out in my life. And if I have kids one day, do you really think... That I'm going to tell everyone if it's a boy or a girl... By making blue or pink... ...cupcakes?

I went to bake some cupcakes I was in such a merry mood I miss the sweet creamy taste I miss the smell of food Human food, Monster food Oh, its just the same What matters is how to make it good I call this a cooking game A cup of flesh, and mix it well Those smelly rotten eggs Light the fire, the flames of hell Let's chop these human legs Ahh, fresh flour - I stole from the store A little bit of sugar, a little bit of salt Let's knead the dough, let's fetch the coal Surely, this is not my fault For a sudden twist, I suddenly thought Why not stir-in some blood The jar of of red, I quickly sought Where's that stirring rod? So I baked it in the ancient oven And waited for some time Ping! It sprung open! Now let's give it a try! Nothing like a meal For a hungry half-breed Wasn't such a deal It was just what I need Nothing like a Sunday When you're not feeling mad Nothing like cupcakes Nothing like fresh blood Oh, human bones! Ack! Ugghh!!

Cupcakes and Blood
*He reminds me of red velvet cupcakes. His clothes are dark like it's wrapper. Skin as sweet as the white frosting placed as the topping. Cheeks blood red like the colour additive added in the recipe. He's sweeter than honey coming out of the queen bee. I'm telling you he's a cupcake to me*. ~

Red Velvet Cupcake
Part of me will never forgive myself for not following through on the promise I made to you But another part knows that you wanted me too Forced me to Part of my brain was already on the way to the store to get cupcake making supplies when the other part of me, remembered that you don’t have a sweet tooth Unless the cupcake was laced with misery, there was no way you would sink your teeth into it I wonder why you had wanted confetti cake when all you know is grey I wonder if you were hoping that I could bake some color back into your throat so that your own voice mattered to you again I convince myself that things are better this way but it is like wishing on a cake the day after your birthday Forced and futile though appreciating the sentiments. I would have given you the universe baked deep inside of the cupcakes that were my proof that I could be worthy

Swallow
She’s cracking eggs. “What are those?” she asks, pointing to white and red specks in the bowl. Once I’d have told her it was shell- but she’s too old for that now so- “Where the eggs started to grow” “Into chickens?” “Yes” “Oh” she says, staring intently at a gooey mess in the palm of her hand. I finish weighing out the ingredients, wipe her clean- “Which colour icing do you want?” She’s carefully spooning cake mix into bright-striped paper cases. “Can we make angel cakes instead?” I go into the kitchen to pre-heat the oven, steal two minutes silence. Deep breath. “No. We'd be cutting up perfect little cupcakes to make the wings” Choked. I can’t tell her why I don’t do Angels in December.

cupcakes
Quaint pink curtains and tablecloths. White walls. The sugary smell of almonds, pistachio and butterscotch skip around the room, playing hopscotch and Mary Mack. The display is impressive, I can smell each grain of sugar in these petit cupcakes and dollops of icing. And then a little girl wails! Mommy won't buy her anymore sweet treats. Bawling-- the girl does an angry-stomp-dance- and then a woman, livid-- storms up to the counter. I said half dozen almond biscotti. I can't take these to my book club. Isn't anyone here competent? Her booming voice has no effect on the lone, tired African-American woman behind the counter. She seems disassociated from the present chaos. The dark circles under her eyes and the surrounding pursed lip wrinkles say everything. Excuse me, but I've been waiting on a refill of the complimentary coffee for over ten minutes now an uptight gent in a business suit complains. When the woman behind the counter pulls out out a shotgun-- there is silence. This ain't what I wanted she whimpers just before the weapon gracefully slides under her chin-- --!BAM!-- As I walk out the door, I wonder how long it will take for someone to realize that's not red icing or sprinkles on the cupcakes.

Happy Little Cupcake Store
i still **** my tummy in, imagine it smooth. my mom was surprised when i confessed i was shirtless, with nothing but my sports bra. (at least I’m tan) you say you like my tummy, and some days I do too. i still slap my thighs, imagine scrawny flesh, stretch marks are lost among photoshop wonderland. i’m an hourglass figure, you say, but I find it silly we compare body types to glasses, and fruit, for we are a combination of things, we are stars, and seas, and candy, and railroad tracks that sometimes go around in circles until we ***** i still see my limbs as different people, and i wish i could detach them like the toxins in my lungs. people like my *** so maybe that’s why I move it so much when I’m drunk. people say I’m Arabic, people say I’m Mexican, people say I’m Muslim, but really I’m all of those combined into a mixing bowl, and one day maybe, I’ll make cupcakes and swallow them whole.

Cupcakes Cravings...
Pretty Little Cup Cake Store: I walk through the door. Somehow I think it will Cheer me up. A white iced-pink sprinkled cupcake Will help me forget. While unwrapping the trendy black and  baby blue doted baking paper Will bring back the past again. But, even I know it is a ruse A joke I play on myself. You know the owners are some super hot soccer moms whose family invested in their latest project. Those **** bakers with pretty white aprons And size two retro-pink waitress uniforms; Smiling and cooing at the lavender infused cake That makes this treat go down so smooth. A gluten-free icing with a garnish of kumquat. This will land their pictures on the local news. I am not a size two. I will just as soon eat a nutty-buddy by Little Debbie But, this trendy cupcake cafe, makes me feel I am one of those Pretty ladies in the retro pink waitress uniform. Kinda like a celebration, for a party of one. I am not a hot pretty stick chick I will buy four, five or six of those pretty cupcakes. Pretending I am buying a hostess gift. But, the truth..... My husband forgot that we married 8 years ago this day. I will pay too much for too little product: but the cake box is cute I will sit in my car Eating, till my teeth hurt. I will rationalize; that I will cleanse tomorrow. I will go home. He will ask how I am, while staring at the TV. "Shussh" he will say, "I'm trying to hear." There is no use to remind him He will play the tired "I'm-in-the-dog-house game." I prefer stuffing four, five or six pretty little cupcakes Into my mouth then listening To his tired apologies, weak little lies and false promises of a planned Surprise. Instead; I will go to my room; then my private bath: I will stick my fingers down my throat And cough up my life.

I looked up to you I wish I were you You and I were the same Even though people told me you were insane I didn't care what anyone said Because when I needed you You always came to my aid But then you weren't there for me When I needed you the most It felt like no one cared for me I was so lonely I used to hate you I'm glad I forgave you All the thoughts of fantasy I dreamed us as a family Ended up being a sad tragedy I won't make the same mistake I'll be there for every birthday cake From the time they wake To the time we go to the zoo and see a king snake In fact well even make Swiss steak Or cupcakes Or pound cake We'll play with snow flakes We'll go see great lakes I'll be there for heartbreaks I'll give them the love I never had I've forgiven you already and I'm not mad But at the end of the day I'm still glad You were my Dad

what I really wanted had little to do with cupcakes and everything to do with the way your eyes followed my lips & tongue as I pulled the first taste of icing into a mouth that has been ready to tell you "yes" since before you formed the question.

When I Asked For A Cupcake
She stood, amidst tutts, wore a mini skirt... (From the first decade).  Took a Step forward, pioneering the teenager Long fair hair, parted mid section Cascading over her cherry cupcakes Remembering first impressions aren't always Accurate, they still berated her without Knowing her.  First appearances were all They knew and could rely on...back then Why would she wear a skirt so short if Respectability meant anything, closed off They too had been judged, time dulling Their posture straight backed.  Space lacked Room to be filled with meanderings of another Era, balancing her book atop red curls and Speckled egg skin.  Recalling the longing Admiration of someone who dared to wear Their inner choice on the outside

Cupcakes and chaos
Give me your inspiration. Come on, you have enough already. This isn’t fair, I protest; how is it that you can create a dozen pretty iced-cupcake poems a day and I can’t? Honestly – sharing is caring. I don’t want it all, just a little bit. A tenth will suffice. It won’t take much from you, I swear! you’ll still be writing ten-point-eight cupcakes a day. Now would that be so bad? No? Well, then. Be like that. It’s not like I need inspiration …

My soul's hot pink, like them bubble gum squares, cool, strawberry fizzy drinks, and a thick candy ice cream. Those warm, glazed over doughnuts, cupcakes with light sprinkles, jelly beans, tufts of cotton candy, and a tub of small macaroons. My soul's hot pink, like them candy hearts, sweet or **** chocolate coated easter eggs, lolipops, and sugar rocks. Those creamy cakes, fruity tastes, of gum drops, frozen pops, of sno-cones drizzled, cookie wafers, and sweet marshmallows; smoothies.

Prom time past and present...
Life is like cupcakes and pizza, sometimes even when you think you've done it correctly with perfect measurement, accurate technique... Still sometimes it turns out to be hard and bad.. Then you'd realize its not about the perfect ingredients or the correct methods after all... its all coming from your heart... Your sincerity in doing things and making and living your life.. So that it'll be as soft and sweet as your cupcakes and as delicious as your mouth waterin pepperoni pizza..

I need you to write to me, to hide little poems for me. I need you to paint for me, to create little portraits for me. I need you to bake for me, to make little cupcakes for me. I need you to create for me, to give me little droplets of you. I need you to be my artist.

You all can be like this. With no workout clothes and With at least two piercings in your nose You all are like this soon enough. Who gave you the idea to pick up the Ukulele anyway? Who gave you the idea to shave one quarter Of your head? We all did.

With your identical twin lipstick And Birkenstock feet. The lack of shock we absorb Gets lonely and depressing. So lets all move to Montreal And French kiss and knit And maybe real soon the Croissants will go stale And it’ll be cool to live In Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
