Chocolate
This smooth brown coloured ecstasy …
this soft textured sweetness of delight,
melts gently on the taste buds evenly,
satisfying passion with every loving bite.
Thank you to the Aztec Indians
of more than a thousand years ago,
who experimented with the cocoa bean,
and passed on an obsession we all know.
The roasting bean and smoothest liquor
waft overriding through the open air,
with sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder;
the most adorable of food is blending there.
I am proud to say that I’m addicted
to this mouth-watering of sweets,
beginning after morning breakfast
through until my bedtime treats.
Coated almonds, flaked, over biscuits,
dark roasted, full cream, milky white;
a cup of cocoa made with hot milk -
then dreams of chocolate through the night.
