While I am indulging
stomach had been bulging
sins apparently plunging
Oh! The joy of life when one it seems
wants to climb into a portrait of sentiment,
only then to create a trembling emotion
that completes an insatiable mind,
when one’s image blending with nostalgia
ferments for a moment like a perpetual habit
served up as vintage wine.
To be reconciled with one’s inner self,
the body here now, yet, a mind
locked in another dimension reliving
a fading monochrome print, brought
to life with one’s own vivid anamnesis.

death plays hide and seek
seize the day
by its vulgar horns

Trump Golf Indulging
About Trump, what we had been divulging,
Seeems to find pleasure in people insulting;
Bad habit;
Does have it;
In him playing golf apparently is indulging.

Sometimes I do
Sometimes I don't
Sometimes I will to
And want but won't
Sometimes I want
And can and will
'F'ya wanna know which one
Just ask, “What's the deal?”

Semi-random thoughts on clarifying in collaboration vs. wild-wicked assuming solo.....
oh, wait! I misspelled 'F'ya.. is only 'fya.. so much for indulgence.. hope I've not wasted y'all's time.. whew, that feels better!
Its winter time again, and
Jack Frost pinched my nose, and
Squeeze my very toes
Clinching tight my cozy jacket
I ran inside to soak up heat, and
Pour a cup coffee
Rubbing my hands and toes
Sitting by the fireplace
They start to burn and tingle
Chilly winter days
We burn away the frost
Indulging gentle touches
