Caramel

On the day when Christ was born
I was woken up by a girl I knew
shouting that we should go to church
cause we would get something cool if we go.

Dragged mercilessly by her
I was put into a seat just next to her
and was greeted by that priest
who was nice to everyone.

He thanked us that we could come
and told us to close our eyes
cause he had something to give out
and gave us a handful of sweets.

I looked at the sweets and was awed.
Lollipops, nougats, chocolates and milk caramels
all wrapped in different colored foils
rose red, leaf green, aqua blue and snowy white.

While I was distracted by the colors
the girl nudged me and asked why I wasn't eating them
I replied that I couldn't eat them
cause I was too full and was saving it for later.

Now it was time to pray.
I closed my eyes slowly
with sweets in my pocket, gathered my hands
and asked god for forgiveness.

I pleaded mercy because I lied
I wasn't full, nor even eat breakfast.
I couldn't eat them because
they were just too beautiful to eat.

Also they all were too sweet
it was sweet as her majestic eyes
and if I were to eat them
I would fall into the world of sweetness.

My lord... I can't open my eyes
someone had put a milk caramel into my mouth.
My lord, it's so sweet
I feel unconscious and my eyelids are glued.

I see a snowy field in my eyes.
There I see her next to the light post.
The buttery sweetness puts me closer to her
and spend the time only with her until the caramel is melted.
