The Gift...



So life gave me a huge bar of chocolate
that i often gape at, in awe.
This cant be... Or can it?
Which corner do i begin from?
Or should i begin now at all?
It couldn’t be just a dream...
Or... could it?
Hope i don’t run out of it too soon.
And i wish that even as i relish
the zillionth row of delicious sundries
dipped in rich, brown cocoa and sugar,
i never ever get too used to those
tempting raisins and crushed almonds
that come unannounced, mid way,
and welcome my sense of delight
as i indulge in the odyssey
and forget myself.
This crazy dance of flavours
with growing tempo and bass et all
never fails to pique me...
One look at it, and there… i know
It couldn’t get better that this
Yeah. It couldn’t ever get better than this, i say.
So i have this huge bar of chocolate,
that i often gape at, in awe…
i wonder at times why life chose me,
and why this divine chunk of sweetmeat
came my way...
And then i smirk and admit unabashed,
that’s some crabby luck, aint it?
Yeah. That’s some damn Crabby Luck, i say!
For you, my dear NSG... :)

very well written. but for me, I'd prefer something more rhyming. A little bit of a kid still in me you see. But then this is very nice too. :)

I was glad to see the happiness in your tone while reading this. Hope you're having a good time.

a dedicated poem or a lesson in code-breaking ?? Where chocolate speaks so much. :)

Thoughtfully delicious!

What do I do with my bar of chocolate? Stare at it, eat it greedily, save it for later?

Eeeeps!! I dunno!!

But loved thinking along those lines for a bit :)

@What's in a name: LoL! Yet another way the Crab expresses its happiness... Happy code breaking!
And thanks for tripping by!

@Beauty and the Beast: ^_^ Thanks dear... A crazy bout of latitudinal liberation it is... And it so happens that im actually surrounded with loads of chocolates we bought a week ago.. So the above should have been a byproduct of the same.. Watsay? Heh. Thanks again for dropping by!
