Chocolate

Melting rivers of dark silk,
Rippling, stroking, slipping
Smooth sweetness of milk
Tartness of cocoa dripping

Laced with orange or mint
Warm roasted nuts abound
Perhaps just a buttery hint
Or a dollop of rum to be found

Velvety sensation so potent
Eyes closing on their own
To savour the fleeting moment
Of being in the Chocolate Zone…

Storm

Thunder rumbling across the sky
Echoing my thoughts, sad and dark
Feeling lonely, without tears I cry
Life is bleary, seeming so stark

Give me a hug, give me your warmth
Hold me tight and never let me go
The moment shall pass, and no harm
Shall befall me, under your shadow

Skies open up, stormwater pours
Forces from all sides pulling me apart
I deal with them, I will fight of course
But I cant fight alone, I’ve done my part

My last reserve of strength is gone
Is it weak to give up? Is it fine
To want that shoulder to lean on
Those fingers to curl around mine

Will you take me down the road of life
Walking beside me, hand-in-hand?
Turn me away from sadness, from strife
Lead me, come with me, to that blessed land…
