Chocolate By Number

by debbylyn   Jul 17, 2007


Happiness, held so close
Melted
As dark chocolate on the eager tongue
Lingering
Bittersweet
While numbered days escaped
In fiery display
Into the liquid horizon

Tears spilled in wanton abandon
Unnoticed
Drops upon an infinite lake
As time
Friend or foe?
Gleefully counted by number
Outlining my heart
Tracing my life
