O Chocolate, My Chocolate! Poem by Melpomene's Tears

O Chocolate, My Chocolate!

Rating: 4.7


O chocolate, my chocolate!
thou art truly the food of Gods
with tempting shapes and flavors
thy center a gooey warm paradise of caramel
that maketh my heart melt and brain joyous
filled with endorphins and all things nice

O chocolate, my chocolate!
Thou doeth tease me
blanketing strawberry mousse
and cherry cream
with liquor for added pleasure
surprising my heart when I sink my teeth
in thy glorious chocolateness.

O chocolate, my chocolate!
can there be any other that gives me comfort
as thou?
on a rainy dark night,
no other keeps me warm and quenched
than a warm cup of thick chocolate
to drink and to dip from

O chocolate, my chocolate!
bonbons and toffees
bars and liquid
powder and chips
doeth it matter what form you take?
like water and air
forms do not matter
to share the happiness you bring

O chocolate, my chocolate!
from Kit-Kats to Mars bars
Twix and Snickers
Hershey's to Godiva's
to the cocoa beans that were
blended in spices by
bloodthirsty Mayans
thou has pledged and won
a place in my heart
and taste buds.

With my love,
An ardent and hungry fan.

Chocolates are trustworthy. A good company as you say better than some humans I know. Keep being sweet! (Ms. Thamarai, not Lady Bumble)
