The Cookie

The chocolate cookie sits on the plate, 
Silently beckoning to me.
How could something so sinful as this,
Would taste so heavenly.

I inhale the smell of hazelnut,
So nice, warm and chocolaty.
The smell reminds me of old times,
When my grandma pampered me.

The cookie’s creamy exterior,
Simply melts to the touch.
The thought of eating this cookie,
Excites me so very much.

The wafer’s light and flaky,
As they always are.
The hazelnut taste would fill your mouth,
And make the world seem so far.

The cream is smooth and silky,
It would just melt on your tongue
The sweetness of the cookie, 
Would make you want to jump

O how I wish to eat it!
To savour the rich fire!
Why did I choose this day,
To start on a new Diet!

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
