Bittersweet

oh, the allure of
a red gift box tied
with a lovely bow
contents smooth 
and velvety 
sweet, creamy
rich and gooey
fine, dark
white and sticky
sinfully silky
yummy
tempting
and decadent

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”
― Charles M. Schulz

my love, my dear

a gift from me to you

when you’re happy

when you’re sad

when you’re bad?

oh, so bittersweet
