Once Upon a Time Poems

Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate mousse,
candied cherry on top,
in conciliatory silence
reminding another
poetic delicacy.

The creamy glow
evokes a longing,
for the cooing of doves,
a banquet of peace,
and silent recital
when the soul stirs again
for chocolate wishes
done to perfection.

My lips tremble
on the defensive,
an internal ache
weighing the weight,
the traditional struggle, acute;
yet, how can one
grow fat on love?

I proceed with care.

Aroma of power
brings back dancing
and staring in awe
at my ring,
sparkling inside a box
of Hershey’s kisses.

A moment of bliss,
almost holy,
to remember today
and all is right in the world
with chocolate mousse.
