Dark, rich, smooth, and creamy
decadent concoction.
Elixir of the gods.
Treasured gift for lovers.
You melt on my tongue and
feed the depths of my soul.
Truffles, ganache, brownies,
in every form you charm.
Even lighter potions
such as mousse and fondant
please my picky palate.
But, never milk. And do
not even mention white.
More cocoa, less sugar
makes you delectable.
Too chocolaty? I don’t
understand what that means?
