Chocolate Dreams
Slow-moving streams
Light’s fulfilling thought
Nothing’s as it seems
In chocolate-flowing dreams
Rich, vibrant, savory
Dark, warm, alive
Open to the place
Where only love survives
Brave a taste of life
Leap into the nook
Let blandness disappear
Where glory’s not forsook
Be present in your place
Devour the waiting feast
Let passion rule your mind
Unleash the haunting beast
No longer can you wait
Dessert invites your fate
Nothing’s as it seems
In chocolate-flowing dreams
What is life devoid of flavor?
Who can exist on water, air, bread, alone?
The dark elixir beckons.
The darkest truths await.
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Wonka’s tumble in the sun
Your just desserts don’t have to wait
Hurry, finish what’s on your plate…
The mind awakens in the taste
The fire burns the ready soul
Clear the thoughts and please the tongue
Travel to the place that’s whole
Dancing, writhing, moaning, full
Savor passion’s waiting thrust
Taste the tastes that fill your mouth
Deserving to the pure and just
Dismiss the thought that life’s been lived
That all that can be tasted has
Open heart, mind, mouth, and soul
And redefine belief of whole
Feel beyond what’s yet been felt
Taste the darkness, feel the heat
Ecstasy still lies beyond
The thought that life is known and neat
Unleash the you that’s waiting still
Close your eyes
Feel
Dream
Taste
Be
Slow-moving streams
Life’s fulfilling thought
Nothing’s as it seems
In chocolate-flowing dreams
