Best Decadence Poems

How I longed for and every morn,
For a decadent slice of cake,
At beginning of every dawn,
Was hooked, my heart did often ache.

Not fussy, fairy cake or bun,
To be sweet, I was for sure born,
Rain, snow, mist, hail or scorching sun,
How I longed for and every...

our hands are extremely
creative
they believe that everything
has the right to exist
like the proliferation
of good and bad
dusts in the air
our science
our arts
our technology
have made a little boon
but a lot of bane

our decadence...

In the gilded halls of the lush royal palace,
Portraits and busts of illustrious men,
Adorn the gardens and marble fireplaces,
But those of their wisdom no longer reign.

Withered are the founding principles,
Replaced by the capriciously whimsical,
The lofty values once held so dear,
Have been succeeded by ills and...

Departure from God's laws spells a nation's decay,
When wrong is made right and right thrown away.

When wickedness reigns in the hearts of a people
Then to see the truth,  they are not able. 

People who vote blindly,  swayed by vain promises, 
End up with...

We find solace in silent solitude. 
Times are hard, revenge is sweet.
We lay our sins about your feet,
for what is sin without platitude?

After all, our molt so indiscrete 
of one’s outer self to interlude
of decadent self indulgent attitude
in plain view of casuals we meet.

Laughingly feed...

Transcend old dread that seeds vain thought,
Oppose the fear that floods sad ooze;
X marks the dead beyond all plot,
Ingest good here in fatal snooze;
Choice spurs the take on crazy form.
Delight sad heart in shifting sands,
Etch a new make in this mad storm;
Cheer stands apart from...

Sometimes, I just want to say it.
Tell them all, be done with it
More reasons not to, I suppose
And one selfish excuse to speak up.
I'll save your humiliation
Prevent you shying away,more,
than you already have done
I don't want this secret
It possesses me more than I own it.

Her Icy blue eyes, as delicate as melting snow
Grips me with such intensity 
it is with fear I think she knows

but I am merely but a peasant boy 
born into her family to be owned

 An exuberantly wealthy family 
old money into which some banks...

'Tis the end of an era my friend, 
Your glistening heart as found solace 
Upon this very land. 
Does Ulysses not sit with you still? 
Does He not speak with you in your dreams? 
Your thoughts have changed my friend, 
Your light has been crowned...

A country's decadence starts with the nation's language decay
When citizens speak in curses with malevolent words they say

For words can spread its Darkness and in power materialize
Into Reality and effect a nation's inevitable demise.

How you think about the life you are evolving
at this stage of your continuing maturation
you might best measure 
with how you feel about each day
you wake up to unfold 
within Earth,
among your Earth Tribes of sometimes cooperative 
sometimes felt too competitive
climates of ego- balancing primal...

DECADENCE

I pinch myself to feel the real
it seems so darn dang surreal
this decadent Dallas life I live
questioning locals who 
miss the thrill

Oysters and wine
culinary fine
no crime
all smooth
this perfect
Bible belt of
Gospel truth

day and night time
rendezvous 
Chase, Chuck & Buck
Budweiser cowboys
watching you
real men with rugged
pheromones 
who know...

You've never destroyed me
I have constantly enjoyed you
off and on for many years
through Joy and tears
through bravity and fear

Decadence,
Beautiful dark angel
On the edge of a strangle
Yet I marvel I'm back
I'm not so dead after all
A morbid caress, to you I call

Decadence,
Who could not love you?
In...

Lawn furniture flavored ice cream
	served in moxa cups
Candied eyes of freshwater bream
	pickled bushdog pups.

Pig pizzle wrapped around a stick
	grilled upon the deck
Woven rope with cat head and brick
	hung about your neck.

Marzipan violin bowed by a stoat
	badminton played widdershins
A toast of poison without antidote
	barefoot on needles...
