Sugarcoated

Sweet, seductive, sugar,
How you tease and tempt,
Your crystalline structure,
So pure and fine,
Lures me with your scent.

You dance upon my tongue,
A symphony of flavors,
Your sweetness so intense,
It's hard to resist your allure.

From candy to cakes,
From donuts to pies,
You bring a smile to my face,
And joy to my eyes.

But oh, how deceptive,
Your charm can be,
For too much of you,
Is not good for me.

You're hidden in so many foods,
In sauces and dressings too,
It's hard to escape your grasp,
And find something new.

Yet I can't help but love you,
In all your forms and hues,
For you bring so much pleasure,
And happiness, it's true.

So let me savor your taste,
In moderation, of course,
For though you may be addictive,
I'll never let you be my boss.

Sweet, seductive, sugar,
How you make life sweet,
I'll treasure your presence,
But not let you defeat.
