Chocolate Tree
There once stood a chocolate tree, a bearer of desires.
Its leaves melted when it inhaled passion.
Its fruits of fire
Set ablaze lands, verdant and barren.
Its bark was festooned in ribbons
Of rich gold and smooth caramel.
Like Midas' touch, gluttony abundant,
The tree was nothing short of magical.
I basked in the shadow of the canopy
Atop the chocolate capped grass bl...

Chocolates
I once bought chocolates
From a place I've never been
carried it all back
as my mind carried a scene
of family around the table
sharing bites of foreign taste
But now, eight months later
they're all going to waste
I once bought chocolates
thinking I bought smiles with them
while sweetness burns my throat
and all chocolates now taste the same

PERFECTION
Feeling really bad
very sad
Wish I could hold
my tongue
Leave judgement
to the man above

Too much on my plate
don't want to hate

When to talk
and when not
Is a talent I need
to hone in
Prefection is a goal
not a reality
Is anyone perfect?

Time for chocolate
and a good movie...

I've had too many eggs - eaten to eggsess
I'm not one for eggsageration

But, I'll eggspound and eggspress myself further
For some sympathy, I wish to eggstract
Well, I took some advice from an "eggspert"
An eggstravigant egghead, called Ed

Easter Feaster
Roses are red?
No they're not!
They're an assorted mix bag of browns.
Cocoa, caramel, mocha and mousse.
Tasty truffles a treat for the tongue,
not just for Easter
but all year long.
Buy em on Easter Monday if you're skint
reduced price,
full taste,
eat my body weight in Lindt.

chocolate
come live with me
in a chocolate house
with a chocolate cat
and a chocolate mouse
there’s a chocolate garden
and a chocolate path
we’ll drink hot chocolate in our chocolate bath
the roof will be made of Toblerone
the windows made from lollypops
we’ll have a Milky Bar telephone
and a chocolate trolley to take to the shops
we’ll have After Eigh...
