Ode to Loving: I Gladly Risked it All


I Gladly Risked It All



Sitting here
Trying to remember
Contemplate even
The last time

I was intoxicated
Enveloped and comforted
Laughed and was intrigued

By and with
My chocolate

Maybe I was delusional to think
That you were and would be
My everything

No, I saw clearly
Analyzed everything
Saw all the things that you
Can’t, won’t or couldn’t
See or believe

Dived deep into
The deep dark swirls of you
Ingested every drop I could
Craved each morsel with abandonment

Chocolate
Was all I wanted and knew

Then came a recall
Missing shipments
Even back orders were of no use

Each moment flickers in my mind’s eye
Experiences continue that sho nuf glow
As all the different songs play in the background
Connected remnants of
Our who

No pain
No anger
Some disbelief
But

No regrets for the things
That made up what we did do

Chocolate will always remain
A part of me
Molten lava memories
Intellectual soliloquies

Chocolate upon chocolate
Lasting passionate memories

All given
Given my all
No worries
