a scent floating on the breeze
caught me unaware
led to a hidden bakery
I didn't know was there
the lights were dim, the door was locked
the cases full of sweets
I felt a pang of hunger
for the forbidden treats
slowly turning home
while lingering a gaze
from the back emerged
a young pattisier
I looked through my reflection
into eyes of deepest blue
she pulled the lock and whispered
i'll open just for you
you may try a sample
but then you have to go
if you find it to your liking
return when my sign glows
how I long to see that signal
the flashing neon glare
and taste the sweet creations
of my confectionaire
