I’ve nothing left at all
every piece melted away
I tell myself I will not fall,
without the memory each day
I rise and face the daily grind
with a sigh, forgetting to smile
Trying to block my mind,
and it works for a while.
You want to know?
I
cannot
tell,
why this
process
fails so well,
’tis just a habit,
I seek to break,
chocolate addiction…
this diet means I must forsake…
Sigh!!

ah Sheila, a girl after my own heart,… what a good idea… 😉 … I shall limit my intake and not cut out the gorgeous stuff altogether… They do say, Maltesers (and you have to believe what they say…dontcha?) are chocolates with the less fattening centre, so by those rules I should be able to eat as many as I like… (Pen proffers a newly opened bag, fancy one Sheila?) hugs aplenty and a great weekend wish to you and li’l Lucy.. xxx

I sigh for you Sir Aquatom, ’tis a hard choice to make, BUT we shall both succeed in our quests to venture forth without said velvety, smooth, linger long and uplift the senses sensation that is the result of partaking of chocolate… 🙂 The smile is firmly fixed… (I look a bit like your Banshee sans the wild hair tho’ ) xx

Love the poem; very clever touch to link to the imagery, well done! (Is that a goblet into which the melted magic falls off that oh-so-clickable body?)
I too am a chocoholic; I do have some (though, sadly, not enough) success curbing my addiction by reminding myself of the true cost of chocolate.

OH yes Indeedy. pendantry, ’tis a goblet shaped to catch any stray rivulets of chocolate… Just hate any sign of waste.. 😉 The link to chocolate, the true taste, brought me up short, and one hopes that Fair Trade goes some way to solve the usual state of affairs, Big money squashes the little people, who’re forever trying to earn a living in this insanely balanced world… xPenx

I did a little more digging on TreeHugger; this post from February 2013 seems to be the most recent on the subject, and suggests that the problem isn’t getting much better.
From the chocaholic’s point of view though, the decision may be made for us if climate change threatens the global cocoa supply…

Wow, Pen, love your new gravatar! So dramatic, exotic, gorgeous! Who needs chocolate, anyhow? Hmm. Must you give it up entirely? Here in Denver we have chocolate-chipotle-covered almonds (chocolate with a kick), and I must say, there is no way to stop once you start. Oh, but they’re so good for you!(?) I am also intrigued by the idea of a chocolate bath.

My thanks Monica, I had my hair done, and thought why not do a new gravatar… and this was the result… 🙂 .. . Glad you like it my friend..
Those chocolate almonds sound just the thing, for a chocoholic like me mayhap I would never stop eating them either, AND as they’re so good for you… well, goes without saying that one should partake, shouldn’t one? 😉 You’re a girl after my own heart… which in British speaks says… two peas in a chocolate pod!! 🙂 … hugs aplenty my lovely friend.
