BON BON
It's dangerous
to carry on a lifelong affair
with chocolate.
Chocolate has taught me infidelity.
A cheap piece
from a penny machine,
a Godiva truffle,
a Dove ice cream,
descending
into my mouth.
God help me.
I can go from one
to the other,
and never look back.
The last one was good,
but the next
will be best.
It will be the real thing,
the outstanding bon bon,
and it's just around the corner.

You don't have to be a sinner, just a bit of an observer. I urge you to join me "in sin" with your creativity at Poetry Potluck. Fun all around!!
