His compelling scent played an olfactory rhapsody, a clarion on my lips, mouth, and tongue.
He glistened and silently beckoned me to rapture.
When we touch begins the dance blissful - at first - but ends a pas de deux
to death.
Weak kneed and flush with the shame of my desire I managed
to whisper, “No.”
I turned and walked
away from his seductive sweetness sure to betray.
At the tender age of 5 I had to be vigilant, be
strong, beware.
We had a stormy history Chocolate and I.
Very well written, Rhonda! And yes, the rhapsodies of chocolate to be sure!!
