Akkina Downing Poet Free verse

Chocolate Obsession

Oh chocolate my sweet
My daily dose of joy how sweet it is
Deliciously it melts at first lick
Liquefying its flood of sweetness to pleasure 
So silkily smooth it's a mind blown
I love it so much, it, I can not live without 

Oh chocolate I must have it daily
Skipping it or rather running out of it, is a crime to my mood and my head
It's my daily dose of joy I need its sweet magic 
It arouses my mood high on happiness, and sets me headache free
I crave it night and day like no others

Oh chocolate my sweet
My one desire I love it so 
My daily dose of joy
I just can't get enough of its divine deliciousness 
It rules my world 
People complain I eat it too much 
I, smile and moan to leave me be
It's an obsession I'm NOT guilty about 


   Smile

Jesse Zerlaut March 21, 2018 at 11:47 PM haha, love this one Akkina and it reminds me of my wife and her obsession with the same. We all love something more than others would like, but we live in our bodies... and they have no place but their own. Wonderful poem Akkina Downing March 22, 2018 at 7:31 PM Thank you so much James :)

Jan Allison January 27, 2018 at 3:32 PM sure made me smile Akkina, a poem I can definitely relate to and a HUGE box arrived for me today from a company called hotel chocolat - 7 different items all penguin shaped and made of choc.

Andrea Dietrich August 8, 2017 at 3:12 PM Yep, most of us love chocolate, Akkina. this is a cute portrayal of your obsession for it. since I started eating healthier, I still do not remove it from my diet. I buy dark chocolate and eat at least one or two chunks of it a day!

Sunita U.D Palawon August 3, 2017 at 10:59 PM I think what should deprive oneself of what really like. But it's always good not to abuse. Anyway chocs are wonderful!

Edward Mccall August 2, 2017 at 9:58 AM Good morning Kina, what a fun read this is. Although now I am compelled to devour some chocolate today which is never a bad thing. And I wouldn't call your love of chocolate an obsession I'd say it's more of an exuberant pursuit of a tasty treat.
