POESIA OF A CHOCOLATE
I've already made a poem about chocolate, but it wasn't an ordinary chocolate that melts in the mouth and dirty the fleshy lips of those who love to lick themselves.
It was about a bitter chocolate that even the showcase dared to expose it, because its strong and concentrated aroma amazed those who sought for a little sweetness in life.
One day, he received the chocolate company different from those exhibited in the chocolate shop. This chocolate had a slightly sweet and enveloping smell, almost as if it had been bathed in milk. So he called it milk chocolate because that was the scent that most attracted his attention.
When repairing the sadness of the new friend, the milk chocolate tried to bring it up and break all that ice, but was ignored by the bitter. Only that didn't discourage him and he tried again, but it wasn't matched. So, after so much thinking, he had the idea of the great ideas: he took a piece of himself and offered it to bitter chocolate.
The bitter one, in turn, did not accept first and did not know the other’s offer. So the milk offered again and this time he did not hesitate to accept. He took the little piece and ate without hurry. When you finished eating, you felt different as if your body renewed.
This change brought a new meaning to his sad life, and he was enjoying feeling so well. Suddenly a strange thought came up, and that would be the idea: to stop being bitter, you just needed to eat something sweeter than him. Without hesitating or letting the voices stop him, he devoured his fellow milk chocolate, as if it were an animal thirsty for food.
The change he wanted so much came faster than he thought. Finally, it gave off a sweeter aroma than those that were exposed in the chocolate shop window. It was at this very moment that his madness flourished: he thought of himself, of devouring more chocolates from the shop, perhaps so the chocolate maker would put him on display in the window.
So he ate the other chocolates in the window - one by one - until he couldn't take it anymore and had to stop to rest on the glass counter. Chocolate, which was no longer bitter, fell asleep on the bench.
Meanwhile, those who managed to escape the sweet squirm were scared and melting with fear. So they preferred to stay hidden under the shelf near the window and watchful.
The next morning, the chocolate man was amazed to see his shop almost empty and all messed up. Her eyes seared with such destruction, but what bothered her was a strangely sweet and queasy aroma. I look at the glass counter, and I realized that the smell was coming from that weird chocolate on the counter.
The chocolate man couldn't stand that nauseating smell, for it was a sweet and bitter mixture without any sweets. He even thought of melting and trying to fix it, but that mixture was too ineloquent to harmonize again. Without much choice, he took the chocolate and threw it in the dumpster that was a few corners from his shop.
