Rain and Chocolate

The rain falls
Falls upon my skin
    - moist, wet -
     I do become

My mouth opens
I drink the rain
To quench my momentary thirst

Now it's time to feed my momentary hunger
Aah, Dean & Deluca
The home of many delicious chocolate bars
I walk in, my sandal bottoms wet
     - squish, squish, squish -

Alas, the much coveted chocolate bars
Which one - white chocolate
              milk chocolate
              dark chocolate
              Swiss chocolate
              bittersweet dark chocolate

Oh my, bittersweet dark chocolate, hadn't had that one in a while
It shall be my choice - it's smooth
                               bittersweet
                               dark
                               chocolate
Taste calls me to it
To devour it
In chocolate time
Slow and sweet

         For this bittersweet dark chocolate fantasy
         Will momentarily take me away from my present reality


    Hmm, rain and chocolate
-two of my favorite things-
    Hmm, rain and chocolate
      -one wet, one sweet-
