Best Gluttonous Poems


Gluttonous Heart

My heart is a glutton
it gorges on sorrow
it's like pressing a button
then BAM I weep til tomorrow

I am a miserable psycho
the things I love make me cry
my jealousy consumes me and I hope
that I can just die

Gluttonous Heresy

These ideals I avoid
Perplex me most annoyed
So wrapped up in myself
Faith kneels down on a shelf
Lost beyond conceit here
This azure mirage sphere
Claims my journeys aren't done
Since trials have just begun

I let you down again
Rage abhors the brakeman
My blood denies its roots
While my consciousness loots
Belief denies assent
This foul bile shall ferment
Dissolving from within
Pasts fixed with a clothespin

Just what spawns this wild hair?
I'm still trudging nowhere
Hoping won't stop my slide
Staggering from bromide
Pupils reveal my loss
Those dots can't reach across
That vast gap in between
What my third eye has seen

My rods and cones race off
When truth and faith face-off
Behind suns where you hide
Outbursts lurk deep inside
Far too brilliant to face
In our system's crankcase
Blazes fume from passions
Ebbing holy rations

Prayers burn as they stroke you
From caustic residue
I don't deserve your trust
Since toxins sear robust
Holes within your design
And visions most divine
Dash from my open eye
Begging for your reply

Gluttonous and gourmandise
People are greedy for gourmet food
In a pleasing fashion
An exquisite taste 
Pleasing the eyes
Soothing the taste buds
A sign of wealth and prosperity
Of course with no thoughts of 
Poverty, epidemics, disasters and wars
On the other side of the earth 
In their absence 
We feel happy and satisfied
In every bits of our bodies and mind 
With every bits of the surrounding
With every bits of the world
And with every gratefulness to God

Premium Member A Gluttonous Tale

Survival of an ultra long week,
finally you see some light at the end;
Humor a little bit tongue in cheek?
Right now could be truly a godsend;

Up late in pyjamas watching cartoons,
always more than a little obscure;
Snacks like sweet meatballs, macaroons,
banana peppers, maybe soup du jour;

Brandishing a spatula around,
it quickly morphs into silverware;
Plates of the Midnight Gourmet abound,
all part of this gluttonous affair;

Box of crackers shaped like a bugle 
filled with a huge dollop of spray cheese 
lead to behavior less than frugal;
Stop adding the extra mayonnaise!

ALL of the leftovers in the fridge!
Ice cream with a caramel drizzle?!
What’s the reason for an all out binge? 
I hope you have some Pepto Bismol;

It is such a spine chilling vision 
to watch how quick you can devour 
that new culinary creation
and keep going another hour;

There’s no off switch nor any limit,
the speed resembles the Autobahn;
You almost seem to be proud of it 
as you open a second bonbon;

The clock keeps moving with a tick tock
as a potato grows on the couch;
Without a morsel left in the crock 
sleepy shoulders are starting to slouch;

Quickly approaching a food coma
there’s no way to stop a rushing train;
Sugar overdose hitting plasma,
probably should learn to maintain;

It could wake you up in the morning 
and keep you all day in the bathroom;
Up chucking with all that sweat pouring  
you’ll feel like you belong in a tomb;

A face now soured a sickly green 
seems to be turning a ghostly pale;
Leaving nothing left of the serene 
that was there at the start of this tale;

Stuck in bed the rest of the weekend,
which wasn’t where you wanted to be;
Do not let this become a new trend,
to fall off the wagon easily;

It’s great to be fond of the kitchen,
but don’t become overzealous;
The gorge that started with a smidgen? 
In hindsight less than hilarious.
