ODE TO CHOCOLATE
ODE TO CHOCOLATE
Beans, you are alpha, yet I desire omega in
every shape, form and guise of redolent
melt in the mouth sensuous decadence.
For you are my guilty pleasure, milk, dark,
white, couverture et al,an aphrodisiac
raising my heart rate, blood pressure
infatuating me with your unsurpassed
sensations and properties, for you are
the ultimate tasting experience and I
indulge my desire for you without restraint.
Oh magical, pleasure, exotic, perfect, wholesome delicious, addictive, paradise must have sent you to perpetually haunt and enchant me, to make my life empty without you what
witchcraft is this that I cannot survive without
your sweet olfactory properties your velty, smooth mouth watering, rich, creamy milk indulgence, heightening each and every sensation with tsunami following tsunami of flavour.

For you are the restorer of exhausted power
with an aroma that helps me relax, reduce my
stress inducing a feeling of love and comfort.
Chocolate, my obsession, my addiction, you
are the feathered serpent, the plant through trees, God of light, food of the gods. I am honoured,so deeply honoured to be a chocophile, a chocoholic, a chocolate junkie, chocolate connoisseur and I have no desire for
nochophobia.
Nochocophobia, is the fear of running out of chocolate.
