Sugar Swirl

Sugar!
Luscious morsels
tantalizing taste buds,
elevating blood counts, craving
sugar!
Sweetness filling
lack, and emotional
high – chocolate as substitute,
sugar…
savour, swallow,
deny empty spaces,
forget no-one ever calls you
Sugar.

(Written for Dark Side of the Moon’s 5-line poem challenge:  Cinquain Swirl.)
