An explosion for the senses
A memory with each bite
Like a delicious blanket
To tuck you in at night

A moment filled with comfort
From when you were a child
Or perhaps a later memory
Of nights and something wild

A combination of sensations
Floods our smell and taste
It only lasts a moment
That we wouldn’t want to waste

In the end it’s just a memory
A moment stopped in time
With hopes to be repeated
And a taste that’s so sublime

About the Poem Chocolate

The poem Chocolate is about that magical substance most of us know and love. Every bite is a memory of some past time. It may have the warmth of childhood, or maybe something more passionate. It’s different for everyone. I’m not really a connoisseur of chocolate. I’m pretty good with the basics. Hershey’s or Nestle’s suits me just fine. I know there are better quality chocolates out there, but that is where my memories lie.

Poetry Books

Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products

While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
