A Box of Confections
chocolate delights--
the sweet taste of your lips
lingers all night
this Valentine’s eve
I’ll have no other sweets--
the day is long
an east wind blows
the nectar of your scent
fills my being
my eyes overflow
with your dark beauty
Spring dream
ecstasy--
cherry blossoms, you
and chocolate
--John Daleiden; Phoenix, AZ
Since the days of the Aztecs chocolate has been used as a gift. Today a box of luxurious quality chocolate says a thousand "thank you's", "good luck", or "I love you". Chocolate can be given as a way of saying "congratulations", "I am sorry" or "get well soon". On Valentine's Day chocolate clearly says "I LOVE YOU!" Chocolate is more than food, it not only fills your belly but also makes you feel soooo good.
