Double Chocolate Icecream

Dark as night, soft as clay,

It ensnares every sense you hold,

Sweet as honey, deadly as poison,

Utterly, enchantingly cold.

 

Never enough to satisfy the want,

Only to increase the need,

The sugary smell of your deepest dreams,

The taste of un-doubtable greed.

 

Like a powdered kiss,

It teases as it melts on your tongue,

Like the forbidden fruit,

To it you have desperately clung.

 

A swirl of pleasure,

As two flavours collide,

The black and the white,

Both forever allied. 

 

But you know it’s no good for you,

You know that it is wrong,

Yet you can’t help it,

You have never been that strong.

 

The rich thick texture,

Of the smooth subtle taste,

Your heart lightens,

A sensation that is rarely replaced.

 

It can give you what nothing else can,

The feeling in your chest,

It blocks out the rest of the world,

And you never ever protest.

 

It is as dark as night and deadly as poison,

But it you will always crave,

Double chocolate ice-cream,

To it, you are a mere slave.
