DU Phrase of the Week . Enter with Enthusiasm
Scintilla of Chocolate and Wine
nothing remains
but the faintest scintilla
of bitter dark chocolate
mingling scandalously
with sweet mandarin wine
~bittersweet, like the irony~
lingering mockingly
upon her tongue
long after the lights
were dimmed
and the table cleared
of offerings untouched,
left unappealing
by his sudden goodbye
~her mouth still full of unsaid words~
desperately clinging fingers
grip her glass too tightly,
a fixed point of focus
in the glorious wreckage
of a life derailed
by candlelight
but the faintest scintilla
of bitter dark chocolate
mingling scandalously
with sweet mandarin wine
~bittersweet, like the irony~
lingering mockingly
upon her tongue
long after the lights
were dimmed
and the table cleared
of offerings untouched,
left unappealing
by his sudden goodbye
~her mouth still full of unsaid words~
desperately clinging fingers
grip her glass too tightly,
a fixed point of focus
in the glorious wreckage
of a life derailed
by candlelight
