Reverse Osmosis

Don't worry. It's not so bad, when you think about it.

I see the stains on your face.

Your hands.

Your feet.

I can smell your musk change.

Turning spicy,

Turning sweet.

Your hair begins to drip, every time you let it down...

A raspberry smile becomes your lips,

Once, a fleshy frown.

Your eyes cry out in danger

For more danger...

How courageous.

I'm sorry that I hid the fact

That chocolate is contagious.

This is so playful & fresh & out of left-field. I wish I could write in a whimsical way like this, but I'm usually forcefully focused on a thread. I started here six years ago (after 30+ years of technical writing) thinking writing should be focused, but now I love it when a thought stream dances around like bees visiting assorted bits of color & pollen, here & there (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Good, that makes me happy.
I'm not sure I could focus if I tried.
And I do so enjoy your visits!

Little humorous piece with nicely set rhyming and a 'sweet' ending. Moreish, is that the same as contagious lol?

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Moreish?
I don't follow

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah moreish refers to something one enjoys and wants 'more' of!

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Lololol I love that. Totally using it.
Yes, they're similar in this context.

Kafkaesque, but if one is to be infected then really, is chocolate so bad.
Unless you're diabetic, of course. Then yes, it is.

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

You probably just need MORE chocolate, is all.
Push through it!
(that's not how diabetes works, is it...)

[Papaya]

I think it's ok in small doses, unless it's artificially sweet. :)

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Oh, you mean American?
Yeah we have effing terrible chocolate in the states.

[Papaya]

:) maybe. I'm not sure I've ever had american chocolate

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Dip a candle in some frosting.
Boom, done deal.
