The Pleasure is Mine

Much is based on pleasure.
Sensory sensations: sight, sound, smell, touch, taste –
a treasure.

I would acquire.
Truth: unique, private, favor-based.
desire.

Divine.
Velvet-encased.
Mine.

Much is based on pleasure.
Truth: unique, private, favor-based.
Mine.

Yes! The pleasures of the senses keep us deliciously happy & trapped. I enjoyed this entry. I liked where you inserted desire and how you’ve juxtaposed mine and Divine. Well done in Contest, Linda. This form seems easy, but is not so easy to do. Xx.
