John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Forever In Delirium

Outdoor party, music playing, couples dancing, bodies swaying
to the melody portraying in the evening’s raucous hum.
Cocktails flowing without saying, fruity drinks on guests are preying,
soon a dizziness conveying fueled by Captain Morgan’s rum;
mind conveying thoughts displaying, fueled by Captain Morgan’s rum
     which leaves me in delirium.

Enter now a girl in waiting, moving slowly, agitating,
leaving lonely hearts pulsating, as, into the room she comes.
Beauty so intoxicating, stunning looks are captivating,
rising passions generating, causing conscious to go numb;
captivating looks creating, causing conscious to go numb
     and leave me in delirium.

From afar a quick flirtation as our eyes meet in fixation
raising high my expectation of the moments yet to come.
Gone for now my hesitation, tempered by the night’s libation,
hoping that her inclination taking me where dreams are from;
offering her invitation taking me where dreams are from,
     and join me in delirium.

In my thoughts my mind infuses, hoping to be who she chooses,
finding all the dreams she muses; can I pluck this juicy plum?
From within my mind accuses, deep inside my yearning oozes,  
will I be the one she uses, sating sultry wants then some;
ever using fears diffusing, sating sultry wants then some,
     and leave my body feeling numb
       …forever in delirium.
