Yes, love is hot chocolate ‼️

The sudden monsoon that Bengaluru is experiencing reminds me what a pleasure it is to enjoy the simple pleasures of life like a cup of Hot Chocolate (Blessed to have a friend who can make the best cuppa). So at 1 am. I go in the pursuit of writing about two of the best things that God bestowed upon man, Hot Chocolate and the gift to love. 

I hope you get to enjoy this poem with a nice warm Cup of Chocolicious milk. 

Yes, love is hot chocolate ‼️

 

Yes, love is hot chocolate ‼️

Something you cannot just guzzle, it will burn your inside from your heart to your soul.

But sip it slowly, and it will warm your heart,

Enjoy it as it sings a lullaby to the butterflies in your stomach

 

Yes, love is hot chocolate ‼️

It's bitter in the beginning, cowards will run away from it,

But if you stay, the sugar rush that follows will soothe;

That ache, that shiver,

Experienced when your hands first touched.

 

Yes, love is hot chocolate ‼️

It's dark, it's brown;

It looks like mud served in a cup.

But if you don't judge it and stay;

It's aroma will transport you to paradise.

 

Yes, love is hot chocolate ‼️

If you hold it in a fragile glass of ego, it will shatter you.

If you hold it in an iron fist of possessiveness, it will burn you,

But if you are flexible, yet strong like a cup of clay, it will stay,

And just like the aftertaste of a good cuppa, it will stay forever.

So, until love comes, let me enjoy that cup of hot chocolate 🍫☕
