CHESS CHOCOLATE

Played chess with the pieces
made out of
white and
dark chocolate

found myself totally salivating
during the entire game

hammering down on
my clock
to bring the match
to its
denouement

even though
it was to be the last game
in our lifelong rivalry

so desperate
to devour
the pieces

since I
could never
devour you.
