Maria Williams Poet Rhyme

Chocolat Fantasies - With Chris Green

You are my life and in that I believe
	Always my love will be only for you

			Flattering though that sounds I must confess
			My first love is chocolate - sad but true

	Sensual visions to capture the feel
	Bringing the contours of wind sculpted plains

			Hold that thought even though I love it so much
			Must let the dog out before he drives me insane

	Shimmering soft on the eclipse of love
	Cloudless these evenings of star sprinkled mist

			Just looked - no lustrous stars in this sooty sky
			But stay for chocolate drizzled cake - I do insist

	I drink in your fragrance
	Tasting the flavors, your moistened lips

			I heard something of interest today,
			Chocolate doesn’t go to the hips

	Kiss me ‘midst the maples
	Kiss me ‘long the shore
	Kiss me o’ my precious one
	Now and ev’r more

			Its thirsty work I must confess
			This kissing and walking along the shore 
			A chocolate sundae sounds rather good
			At that quaint little place that I do adore?

	I see, I see, in front of me
	Dessert, dessert, set out for free

			My!  you do know how to set the mood
			I can’t go past this - you do know me

			The night feels right the lights are turned low
			What’s this the video has stopped? Hello!!

	Johnny has left the building? Just when I wanted more 
			
                        No matter- my debonair poet of delight
			Conjure me up some George Clooney tonight
			
	Well set aside your chocolate pie
	For Hollywood is coming by
	And as you explore your favorite star
	I’ll enjoy that Hershey bar

Oh Fickle Heart chocolate second placed?
From gold to silver - it’s now displaced


Footnote:
I’ve used George Clooney as he is globally acclaimed as the most favored flavor in the ratings.
Personally, I favor the more 'Bono' type - (I love his voice)
Paul David Hewson, known by his stage name Bono, is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician.

Acknowledgement:
My deepest appreciation to Chris Green, poet extraordinaire for sparing some of his wonderful talent and collaborating with me to bring you this arrangement.

Darlene De Beaulieu January 18, 2018 at 1:58 PM Maria,you and Chris Green have done a good job on this poem. My mouth did water as I read this poem. You see I make chocolates, I make them for Christmas and I am thinking doing it foor Easter if it is not hot. Have a nice day my friends. Peace and Love and Joy.

James Inman September 3, 2017 at 7:33 AM I love the nonchalance of the second voice. The piece works wonderfully. It has the style of a 1960s romantic comedy.

Akkina Downing July 23, 2017 at 7:02 PM I don't have it on here. I wrote it many years ago. I'll have to look for it now :)

Akkina Downing July 21, 2017 at 8:27 AM This is so much fun. I can relate to "My first love is chocolate"lol! I've written one a while back about my obsession with chocolate.

Carole Duet July 13, 2017 at 9:04 PM What a fun read! I really enjoyed it and chocolate is definitely on the top of the sweet heap for me. In fact, I just ate a Dark Chocolate Milky Way. lol Delish!

So its dark chocolate for me from now on, strictly for the health benefits. Nice to see you Carole, thanks for the visit and lovely comments....Maria xx

Freddie Robinson Jr. July 13, 2017 at 3:07 PM Super cool and creative collab, Marie and Chris. This chocolate fantasy is dipped in double dark chocolate fondue. Bon appetit. Such a charming duet repartee. You two go well together as a fine poetic appetizer. Love always. Maria Williams July 13, 2017 at 11:30 PM So good to see you my friend, and you do say the coolest and most charming things to me Mr Smooth. Now who needs George Clooney?...Maria

Lisa Ricci July 13, 2017 at 8:22 AM And what a collaboration is it. Good Morning Maria and yes Morning Chris. This entry is wonderful in its entirety starting with the title. I very much enjoyed the serious side and the fun and play side because this entry it two folded. Well done and expressed with both. Now about those every popular chocolates... (lol) Have a wonderful morning and day. Maria Williams July 13, 2017 at 11:38 PM Lisa, as usual you bring a smile and such a lovely breath of fresh air. I'm sure that I speak from both of us here. Now,which flavor have you decided on? The Depp or the Clooney? I think it would be safe to say that both are equally yummy Lol....Your friend always Maria xxx

Joseph May July 13, 2017 at 5:33 AM Two great poets merge their talents for this wonderful write...I like the fun way in which you wrote this...Great work Maria and Chris Maria Williams July 13, 2017 at 5:40 AM Thanks Joseph, yes it was all in fun. So glad that you liked it my friend...Maria

Winged Warrior July 12, 2017 at 10:45 PM George Clooney?...how about Danny DeVito lol...great collab poets...^WW^ Maria Williams July 12, 2017 at 11:58 PM I dont even like George Clooney, still had to cater for the other women of the world. He still gets voted one of the sexiest men in Hollywood. Danny DeVito is pretty cool, I do like him. Thanks WW, both from Chris and me, it was fun...Maria

Paul Callus July 12, 2017 at 3:51 PM Do I see a chocolate flirt in italics! I enjoyed this collaboration which has a light romantic and witty side to it. Noticed the rhyme applied to consecutive couplets. ~ I co-wrote a 'chocolate' poem with Eileen some months back, called Indulgent Love: https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/indulgent_love_784440 Regards // paul Maria Williams July 13, 2017 at 12:01 AM You do indeed Paul. I have been known to tango with the Chocolate God, but I gave him up when he lied about the chocolate not going to the hips...it did . So these days its only dark chocolate, strictly for the health benefits.I'm looking forward to reading your poem Paul. Thanks for the wonderful comment...Maria

Lovely collaboration my friend, with so much fun in it :) Great work, Chris and Maria! Maria Williams July 12, 2017 at 4:57 AM Aww! come on Darren, Bono has so much more sex appeal, don't you think? Who wouldn't go for the voice? So glad that you got a laugh out of this. From Chris and me a big thank you...Maria

White Wolf July 12, 2017 at 4:38 AM Oh, this is marvellous! Succulent thy lovers' feast! A scrumptious write indeed! What a pleasant delight! Maria Williams July 13, 2017 at 5:48 AM Managed to put the music that I wanted on, it took a few different versions though...Maria Maria Williams July 12, 2017 at 4:45 AM thanks WW, really disappointed though , it wouldn't let me embed the music that I wanted to use, so had to use the faster number. Thanks for the lovely poetic comment...Maria & Chris
