it should have been you,
the one who shines and paints stories--
never the same way twice--
not the quiet one
whose eyes are like mine,
dark and bitter as spiced chocolates.

but I guess I'd had enough of bright, lovely people
who burn through you and expect you to last.

I fell for a cynic's smile and a dreamer's heart,
whose story is broken in almost all the same places as mine,
and was told whisper by whisper along hours of dusty, unlit roads,
just as my heart was given letter by letter, step by step,
over plates of antipasti and all-too-short train rides.

but I was too late;
I found my love sitting at your feet,
listening to your stories,
and waiting for the one that begins with his name.
written between the 11th and 25th of August, a poem to the woman who is magic to the man I love, the woman I should have fallen for instead.
You came to me
On the 14th of February
With no chocolates
In your hands
You must have  forgot

You came to me
And held my hands
Whilst telling me that
You loved me
I was soaring into the sky

Then you said but
And I saw no roses
In your hands
Making me crash hard
to the ground; so cold
On the 14th of February

Happy Valentine's Day love
I hope  she was *worth it
A Valentine's day I'd never wish upon anyone

Cherry-red lipstick
Cautious fingertips
Chocolate-chip irises
Whisper "I love you too"

New star-lit romance
Just one more slow dance
With shy wandering hands
But eyes forever on you

I had my dinner just now
It was the chocolate
You left on the chair somehow.

Being skinny is really hard.
Starving yourself is not so smart.
I keep trying and trying to lose that weight.
But end up eating chocolate cake.
I say "just one bite!"
Two
"Three or four isn't bad for you..."
Five, six
"Just give me a slice."
Double it up
"It taste really nice!"
So me!...

i fell in love with you, at the first taste;

you beckon me, like a ***** from araneta -
“come hither, nay not thither, let's share our passion for the night,
for a cheap price, let's revel like lovers in delight”
but oh, how can i love you?

you are dark as mud, as dark yet rich, like sin;
you drawn me near, with your earthy and sensuous aroma.
oh, how heavenly your scent is. and you draw me nearer like a dog
drawn naturally by a bone.

oh your warmth, it delights me, like a hearth on a cold december night.
like a warm woman's body, you entice me, making me wanting to touch you,
feel you, like feeling a woman's breast, kissing her red, full lips, and feel the
warmth of the flesh between her legs.

i tasted you for the first time;
you are at first, bitter, like memories of a broken heart; you evoke my saddest
ruminations, the loss of a beloved. the first taste, bitter, but slowly evolving to sweetness, like the luscious kisses of a paramour. lips upon lips, tongue upon
tongue. the first taste brings out a cacophony of feelings and emotions, the
taste of warm chocolate.

i savour you,
your every scent and every taste from a cup of warm batirol-seared chocolate;
like lovers on a warm steamy night, we make love.
every sip, like a slow penetrating ******; slowly, yet surely, we waltz into the night,
dark as sin, yet tastes like heaven.

all good things have their end, and you my dear, is almost fully consumed.
with one last ******* gulp, i cherished you. let your final taste linger for a few moments and sear your delightful offering into my heart. i may have finished my drink,  but you have left me wanting for more.

i ordered another cup.

This morning i had to wake up.
curled right next to you
bottoms gone tops my legs twisted around yours like red vines
the feeling sweeter then anything
you woke me with kisses,
soft as hershies
and i giggled bubbly like lemonade
i hope this feeling never fades
waking up
every morning
in sweet sweet love with you

I am
Sitting in the sun
Eating store-bought chocolate pudding
Next to one who calls me a friend,
I cannot say the same.
The sun is warmer,
The pudding sweeter...
And the company is almost excruciating.
But,
Eating indoor pudding
Is nothing but bland.
And for all that she ******* about everything incessantly,
She is still warmer than the abandoned hall.

Chocolate Milkshake!
Sweet love-child of milk and chocolate;
Drowsing inside my extra large take-away tumbler,
after a tiring roller coaster ride.

Chocolate milkshake!
Dark and delicious; Derived from the **desserted
district of dreamland.
Destroying me internally, you devilish seed of cacao tree.
Today, you are mine; And I’ll be the proud receiver of your sweet nectar.

Chocolate Milkshake!
You proudy  liquidy miracle of nature.
You self obsessed syrup of supremacy.
You won’t ever get over yourself, will you?

Chocolate Milkshake!
I have loved you enough, you mean juice of Zion.
Next time, I am gonna order a vanilla milkshake.
It might not be as magical as you are;
But again, I can’t hold onto you forever.
Oh how sweet you are!
My mind says you're bad for my teeth but my tongue enjoys you,
You make my heart jump
If lips tasted like you I'd kiss people every hour perhaps every minute :D
Your looks enticing,your smell intoxicating,
You're a truly tasty beauty,.
Just appreciating the beauty of chocolate lol.
