DARK ENCHANTMENT

                I am not a big fan of chocolate but my friends think otherwise. So, here is a poetry on chocolate to remind once again the love that it coaxes out of our coy hearts. It never fails to give us happiness in times of sadness(or singleness of some friends concerned) and also double happiness in times of mirth too. A preferred gift even at times of success or achievement in our little world. Honestly, sometimes even I fall prey to its "dark enchantment", for it does give an ephemeral sense of joy however shortlived it may be!

As it melts inside, i writhe in pleasure.
Shivers... as i lose myself in its warmth.
Filled,repaired,healed,consoled: the old fissure.
Sigh! I keep succumbing yet I am not harmed.

That dark entity calls out my amorous soul.
I pine for it as did Coleridge's demon lover.
Thwarted time and again by the lies of heedless world
But my insatiable heart refused to cower.

For the Aztecs you were only an experiment: mere beans.
Momtezuma in all his glory failed to recognize you.
You had to die; you were roasted,pounded and grounded: mere beings!
But you came back! not bitter but sweeter with the traumas due.


Oh! how i love thee! sweet, sweet Chocolate.
Midnight or twilight its never too late.
To have you...
Only you.
