goddesses personified.
they whisper on my tongue’s
tip.
their sole purpose
decadence and enticement.
Ambrosia. Absinthe, Naga, Wink of the Rabbit, Red
Fire, Black Pearl…
i dance with them deliriously
one after another.

Buddhist cosmology tells of Trāyastriṃśa, or the Heaven of Thirty-Three gods, which rule over the human realm. This weekend Trifecta asks for exactly 33 of our own words about a god of our own devising that shares heaven with the other thirty-two gods. Chocolate, deep and dark, is one of my earthly gods.

That is a goddess that I'm all too familiar with...
ReplyDeleteThey are wicked, undeniable, decadent! They don't accept "no" as an answer. Some of the best in the world. They are definitely one of my abundant weaknesses!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, YUM. I want chocolate. Right now.
ReplyDeleteOnce I start, it's hard to stop!
DeleteOh my. I always had a weak spot for chocolates. Calling it Ambrosia just made it a lot weaker
ReplyDeleteLove this!
There's one (can't remember "her" name but it's dark chocolate then biting into it is like a banana explosion!
DeleteDelicious
ReplyDeleteYummy piece for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteDark chocolate for me. Better yet, a dark chocolate champagne truffle. hmm. Now to go find one.
ReplyDeleteI used to only like milk chocolate but that was only until I had really good dark! I like almost all truffles! If only I had one right now...
DeleteNow this is a goddess I can relate to!! ♥
ReplyDeleteI'm good with a goddess of chocolate - as long as she brings me more. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's never enough, it seems!
DeleteDelicious--the writing and photo!
ReplyDeleteThey come in a beautiful purple box tied with a purple ribbon! Vey sumptuous looking!
DeleteYum! A fun, delicious take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteVery creative! Made me want to raid the chocolate cabinet downstairs, and I haven't even had coffee yet!
ReplyDeleteIf I had one of those cabinets, watch out!
DeleteI have a problem with this as well in the form of my son's Halloween candy.
ReplyDeleteI had my fair share last week.
DeleteOne of my favourite deities! Also one of the most dangerous. ;) Great take on the prompt Gina!
ReplyDeleteWonder if that's why my jeans are a bit snug?
DeleteI love this goddess! With all my heart, I love this goddess!!
ReplyDeleteGreat 33 words, Gina!
I <3 her too. Very, very much!
DeleteI definitely worship this goddess! Beautiful writing.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thank you.
DeleteClever, Clever, Clever, etc...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ted. "Clever" is my favorite compliment!
DeleteExactly. I just might need to visit her shop soon!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely goddess:) (And such a perfect blog background..)
ReplyDeleteI love my goddesses! Thank you!
DeleteOH yes, I've been known to frequently worship at the temple of chocolate myself! Cute take on the challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been on a huge chocolate kick for a while now. Probably 5 lbs. worth!!! Must knock it off stat!!! Thanks for relating!
DeleteOh that god.. we all worship her don't we?
ReplyDeleteOne version of her or another.
DeleteLove those names... almost as much as I love your goddess!
ReplyDeleteWicked! Those are actual names of some of the truffles. They really don't hint at the true flavor experience at all. It's fun to taste test!
DeleteNooooooooooo!Now I want to visit this Goddess too Gina!lol!Loved this "delicious" piece(don't mind the drool-ha!ha!)
