Love Sonnet Valentine (#88)
My love, your eyes, two sunflowers, get bright
whenever I just walk into a room.
They follow me and keep me in their sight.
How I adore those pretty eyes in bloom.
My love, words uttered from your perfect lips
are precious pearls like treasures from the sea.
Each syllable in honeyed cadence drips
a nectar which is sustenance for me.
My love, your face, pale moon when lights are low,
appears as though a beacon in my dreams.
I'm mellowed by your aura's softened glow;
your skin the texture cream reflects its beams.
And when you bathe, my love, your locks of gold
spread round a splendid vision I behold.

A single rose can be my garden . . .
a single friend, my world.

The world's first chocolate candy was produced in 1828 by Dutch chocolate-maker Conrad J. Van Houten. He pressed the fat from roasted cacao beans to produce cocoa butter, to which he added cocoa powder and sugar.
