CHOCOLATE

 

There are nuts in its depths

Or cherries in the center

Oft times you can’t tell

Before you enter

Into the box and bite into one

What there will be at the tip

Of your tongue

Will it delight, what taste

Will you savor?

Will it be bland or bursting

With flavor?

Sometimes a chocolate is

Milky white

Or maybe light brown,

Have caramel inside

Or darkest of dark for the

Lovers of night

However it looks, so tasty

It might

Have you going back to the

Box for one more

Till the next thing

You know

You’ve had three or four

Something about this treat is

Addicting

Good for what ails you

And oh, so conflicting

For when you eat it, it draws you

Right in

So that you feel you are committing

A sin!

 

The things of this world

Are also the same

Enticing you in, till you

Play their game.

Not knowing really what

Is in store

That sin is lying right there

At the door

To lure you right in to the

Web of desire

Until it consumes you with

Its raging fire

And then when it is finished

With you and lets go

The wages of sin is death

And you go

Further than you were

Bargaining for

All the way down 

Hell’s corridor.
