Chocolate

 

She painted eye chocolate,

Beautiful bold abstracts

In courageous colors

That took you wandering

Willie Wonka like for days,

A wandering minstrel

In a Meeleirrek dream,

I slipped out of the colors

Just as a young woman

Was saying she didn’t

Like chocolate,

Some women give up sex

For chocolate but not me,

Call me crazy, call me weird

I’m not into chocolate,

I already knew that,

I met her in the paintings,

Saw her in the dreams.
