A villanelle about my serious obsession - sorry, Sylvia!
Mad Boy's Love Song

My creamy cocoa substitute for love
supplies my every need from A to Zee.
I've given all my other loves the shove.

Why waste my time on hearts and turtle doves
when chocolate alone can set me free?
My creamy cocoa substitute for love.

Some lovers fit their partners like a glove;
a tempting treat now plays that role for me.
I've given all my other loves the shove.

I shall be loyal to my most beloved
and pledge my faithfulness upon one knee —
my creamy cocoa substitute for love.

I have no wish to share this crazy love
that never fails to fill my tum with glee.
I've given all my other loves the shove.

The cocoa tree's a gift from God Above
who clearly knew that chocolate would be
my creamy cocoa substitute for love.
I've given all my other loves the shove.




Sorta inspired by Sylvia Plath's Mad Girl's Love Song
