Like a Gift From Above

Since I can not have what I am dreaming of,

A heavenly substitute I've picked for love.

Sweetness on my tongue; into my mouth I shove

The angel’s gift of chocolate. Its name is Dove!


 For Juli- Michelle's contest Rhyme Battle: Round 2

I am deeply suspicious of anyone who doesn't like chocolate.Thankfully, you're not one of them. Chocolate--one of few words we have from Aztec (chocolatl), however, means "bitter water." Nothing could be farther from the truth.
