I bring you chocolate <br />dark and sweet <br />and plant its <br />kiss <br />in your mouth; <br /> it melts <br />inside| <br />exploding <br /> upon your lips <br />sweet ambrosia <br />enveloping <br />to your Netherlands. <br /> <br />I smell it <br />in your exhaling breath <br />your chocolate quiverings <br /> my tongue <br />sweeping downward <br />warming in <br />your seething <br />gasps <br />reacting to your mouth’s openings <br />and I gather all <br />and fall <br />into <br />that space <br />lovers make <br />on Valentine’s Day <br />reminding me <br />why we choose we <br />over merely <br />you or me. <br /> <br />Take please <br />my chocolate <br />give me <br />please <br />your quiverings <br />as we pluck <br />from <br /> <br />the heart-shaped <br />chocolate <br />box <br />and <br />spiral <br />away.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chocolate-box-2/
