WOW!!! Strong, dark chocolate and a love poem, all in one!

I just opened up this chocolate bar and find a love poem on the inside of the wrapper!

A Magic Moment To Remember
by Alexander Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

A magic moment I remember:
I raised my eyes and you were there,
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that's beautiful and rare

I pray to mute despair and anguish,
To vain the pursuits world esteems,
Long did I near your soothing accents,
Long did I your features haunt my dreams.

Time passed. A rebel storm-blast scattered
The reveries that once were mine
And I forgot your soothing accents,
Your features gracefully divine.

In dark days of enforced retirement
I gazed upon grey skies above
With no ideals to inspire me
No one to cry for, live for, love.

Then came a moment of renaissance,
I looked up - you again are there
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that's beautiful and rare


What a yummy moment! :9 What more could a guy want?

1. Love Dark Chocolate
and women don't have the corner on the market for dark chocolate being a substitute for love :9

maybe not for sex, but love, for a moment.

:)

2. You know, perhaps it was a coincidence...

...but I was thinking about this woman I've known for a long time while I was eating the chocolate and reading the poem.

And she wasn't my wife! :hide:

4. "just don't touch unless you want a whole new bunch of problems"
I can't. She lives 1,500 miles away.

So I'm safe from myself...:blush:
