The Hues of Chocolate

My eyes are closed and my fingers are gently pressed against my lips. An entanglement of savory deep chocolatey hues, glide across my tongue, like a ballroom waltz. Deep hues of warm browns with toffee undertones sweep my thoughts away. Away with ease, even. My imagination spikes with another bite of spicy, dark chocolate, chili pepper, goodness. I see a deep welcoming red in my mind; where? I’m not quite sure where exactly this red is coming from; but I feel it, I see it surround me.
