Bittersweet

Posted on 02/11/2020 | 28 Comments

the red gift box alluring

it’s contents velvety

smooth and decadent.

but her love for chocolates

the crux of her addiction.

her unforgettable forgotten

he shredded her dreams

in dignified air of victory

    I find this poem most intriguing, Eugi, especially the “unforgettable forgotten”, as if a simple heart box of chocolate can expunge the sins of the giver. Definitely what marketing would have us believe.
