Greetings,

I am Triche Christmon, former publicist of Carmen Bryan (It’s No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, from Seduction to Scandal–a Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All) and the author of Chocolate Notes, and I’m excited to share Chocolate Notes with you!

Who is Triche Christmon you ask? I’m an Oakland native. I’m a witty, creative, spiritual, sensual, loving, poetic, and generous woman with a dynamic personality that loves to love. I am a quintessential bohemian! I am a seeker and student of truth and knowledge, encouraging people I meet to support the “Love Movement.” The Love Movement is helping people get back to that good old fashion love…you know that Al Green “Let’s Stay Together” Love…that sitting on a porch 60 years later, I’m still in love with you love! This is my story, and I want to share with you my experience through the journey of love and the different stages of a relationship that make up the chapters of Chocolate Notes. Enjoy!

Chocolate Notes is a collection of poems that was created to flow like a relationship. In the beginning, there’s attraction which leads to courting, and then the joy of falling in love. From there, it’s the pleasures of sex, and then … the dreadful breakup.

YOU

You are so special
You are cognizant of my needs
You fill me up with you
You tantalize my senses
You energize me
You make being in love
So exciting and new
Every day with you is brand new
I crave you
When you are not there
To hold me tight
So I hold on tight
When I’m by your side
Cause you are my everything
So special, so precious
I’m lucky to have found
Someone like you
I thank my heavenly father
For allowing you
To come into my life
What a joy
To be with you!
