COCOA
Cocoa drink decadence
Crème de la crème whirl whipped
Cinnamon r e s o n a n c e
Chocolate flavor sipped
Chopped finely semisweet
Carob powder sweetens
Cups up rich tasting treat
While Lusts fever sweats out self-possession,
Haunted Passion multiplies per heartbeat
Turning cold blood hot with obsession.
Though the past has left an impression,
New Hunger hunts an old bed-sheet
While Lusts fever sweats out self-possession.
“No,” should speak an easy confession,
But loneliness pressures purity backseat
Turning cold blood hot with obsession.
Wild thoughts parade with indiscretion
Pendulum emotions erratically repeat
While Lusts fever sweats out self-possession.
Sex brews choice with oppression
Baking bitter standards so semisweet
Turning cold blood hot with obsession.
A war of feelings with no recession
Continually fight the ache to secrete,
Still, Lusts fever sweats out self-possession,
Turning cold blood hot with obsession.
