Sample:
Life is a box of chocolate
to you this may be
covered in brown goodness
so sweet and sticky
you dive into it willing
and chew it with delight
a carmel center awaits
my brown is of another nature
and the center more of a goo
more Tangy and sour
sucked in and down
being pulled apart
Life is a box, I am the chocolate

Chocolate and life
Life and chocolate
In a box?
Eaten in a tree?
No,it must not be..
I think my life
Is a box of chocolate
Sweet and heaven
Melting so purely
In the confines of my mouth
Or old and moldy rotten and brown
And other atrange colors to
Mix,
Really it makes me sick..,
Life is my box
My box of chocolate
Just like it you see..
Sweet or disgusting
Im living it.

[left]Its chocolate or life
live in a box and your stuck
eat chocolate and it tastes so sweet
life is a box of chocolates
think about this your living in a shoe box and walking in my shoes
leave no road not taken
but life ones tasted so sweet the chocolate melt in your mouth not in your hand
leaving you sticky and sweet but once it hit your tongue the taste stayed for so long because it lingered on your sweet tooth
you knew in the end what you wanted
so the chocolate never lasted so sweet and life ended with just that[/left]

Life is a box of chocolates
Apparently
But if it is,
Then my chocolates are mouldy
Fly riddled and furry,
Stale, and they reek,
Don't dare open the lid of my life,
Because you'll simply throw my life away.
It should have been thrown away a long time ago.

Chocolate Truffle Surprise
Oh my dear Forest, you were so right indeed
About life and that proverbial box of chocolates
Normally, I am most selective, quite discerning
Only going for the darkest of chocolate, no whimpy Godivas for me
Still even I get ambushed, taking that trusting bite and ...
Getting surprised, despite my been there, done that demeanor
Taken aback by something unexpected, causing oral distraction
A self-inflicted bit lip, warm saltiness to blend with the sweetness
Reminding me of other darker elements, vieled aspects of my life
Where leather replaces lace, flogging replaces caresses
Looking devilishly at my coppered love, sprouting a crooked smile
As she innocently asks "was that a good one?", but then realizes too late
Here we go again, time for me to pursue my damsel in distress
Tying her to the railroad tracks once more, teasing, probing fun
Then tenderly feeding her, one by one, the remaining morsels
While I prepare to nibble and savor something a little more sweet
Just then, on time to complete the metaphor, it floats slowly down
A single white feather to add tickling delights to our already kinky evening

If my life is a box of chocolates
I hope i can think outside of the box
There a good chocolates, creamy milk chocolate, crunchy nuts, gooey carmel
And then there is the god offal fruity berry crap that questions everything
Why is that in the same box as chocolate?
I want chocolate
I bought CHOCOLATE
Not strawberry, coconut combo paste that infects the se-rounding chocolate
Who even thought of that?.. coconut and strawberry
It doesn't belong
It makes me feel like i wasted my time and money
To think one thing in life could go as planned!
Now i'm stuck here with an half empty box and strawberry crap that's called "chocolate"
Which is my life
I hope i can think outside of the box

The cultures of humanity fill this box we call Earth
much the same that chocolate fills a gift box with mirth.
Some bitter like cocoa, some sweeter like milk
or neutral in sugar like semisweet or silk.
There's Swiss, so delightful and French so creamy
Belgian so mature, and Mexican the eldest, a Mayan dream.
There's toasted nut covered, coconut too, and cream filled
little morsels, think Asia, Portugal, India and Brazil.
European, Australian, North American too! Arabian,
Italian, Dutch, English, Pol and Norwegian.
The most perfect thing from a gift box it seems is not
so much different from what you get with new friends.
As sweet as it is, it's likely a blend
of flavors and experiences from the world we live in.
Open up a box. Make a friend.
Though sinfully sweet, it's never a sin.
