A Decadently Decadent Love

The definition for the word decadent in this poem is the following:  extremely 
pleasing 

The synonyms you can have in mind are the following: unrestrained and 
shameless

I want to indulge in this love
To arrive at its very core  
I want that delectable taste
The pleasure that it has in store

I want to revel in opulence
Luxuriate in comfort fine
To savor its decadent treats
Indulging in what is sublime

I want to relish its sweetness
To take in and not abstain
I want to be ravished by love
To give in to pleasure and pain

I want to be wild, uncontrolled
Glutted in a wanton excess
To be obsessively taken
Have my inner woman undress

Like richest silky smooth chocolate
I'll tempt, tantalize, and I'll tease
Making love to be what I want
To melt in my need to appease

Decadently decadent love
Is all that my heart and soul crave
To be lost in time and in place
To drown in a love that can save

Eileen Manassian Ghali

A Decadence that will rebuild you from the inside out Eileen. You're so good, so very decadently understood! You are a Mistress of Decadence. " To be obsessively taken..." I do wish you would refrain from removing your poems, but I know you have your reasons. J.A.B.

Yes...I have a love hate relationship with this place. Recently...I was considering leaving, but.....I'm still here. It's people like you, Justin, who make this place hard to leave. Thanks for reading and commenting......Love can only be taken decadently...heart and soul...to the exclusion of all else but that moment.

Its a crime to have deleted this!!!! I will think up a suitable punishment, but I am guessing it has something to do with decadent chocolates!!!!

Oh, Arthur. How do you come up with these tantalizing posts? Hugs

Very happy that you rebirthed this gem my friend. I had not previously read it. Certainly is a very passionate bare naked write that just oozes in sex appeal. Takes true character to write like that and great talent to pull it off so very well as you have now done!

Yes, Ilene...the queen of passion in words. Better than nothing. I'll take that title with joy.

It is good that you don't cloak who you are. You have been wondrously made with a passionate heart. No bushel for you, let that light shine. I am so glad you reposted so I can add it back to my favorites.

Theses are wonderful words, full of the passionate feelings in life that excite and deliciously confuse the senses, your words release in ink one of the passions that I find drives me forward, fantastic. I've deleted things too, however when considering the fact that one poem could make one persons day brighter, it ceases to matter what the other hundred people that read it think. ;{>
