Chocolate Liquor

 

An intense white, softened by beautiful brown,

Enamors me as I stare.

Until I reach the darkness, I dare not digress

My intimate glance. So rare

 

Is the opportunity to witness such wonders.

Even in the bleak

Darkness, I find treasures of diamond,

All utterly unique.

 

Often, I will find myself reaching out

To embrace the bright ember

Burning ardently before my eyes. The desire

Builds like cold in November.

 

When I near the flame, I fear

The ice will melt.

But the want for warmth weighs on me…

And I forget the pain felt.

 

I look again to see the luminous orbs,

Gleaming in glory and grace.

Amazing… to find such mysterious beauty

Resting on a human face.

I've always thought this was a beautiful poem.
I love the title.
