Dark Chocolate
From the equatorial forest.
In my imagination,
We make a beautiful duet.
His dark chocolate
with my caramel entwined.
Heady and sensual,
Utterly irresistible.
Electrifying,
Like shot of espresso
The colour of his eyes.
One look, is all it took.
The cup of my heart is brimming.
My head is swimming,
Like after an Irish coffee.
A shot of whiskey,
A dash of cream,
Stirred with a chocolate spoon.
The worst addiction
Demands gratification.
The food of the gods and
The Devil’s own elixir.
Secretly brewed in the dead of night
Now incarnate.
The ultimate black magic,
No cure from a medic.
Desperately sinking,
A maelstrom of emotions.
The worst part of it,
We’ve never even spoken.
