forgetting

In response to: Wine and Chocolate 

 

forgetting

he plies you with wine when only chocolate will do; you drink; you nestle in; but you pine for sweetness; a joyous burst of soothing confection rolling across your tongue; the dryness of the wine confounds you; you want to recoil but the taste of plush grape lingers; it dallies between kisses; you forget chocolate and fall into wine’s delicious clutches
