New Orleans’ 1962 ostentatious hotel lobby
extravagant crystal fluted chandeliers
highly polished walnut counter tops
opulent Italian marble floors
plush scarlet velvet cushioned couches
swankly brass and glass décor
luxury never seen after nineteen sixty-two

Tuesday of last week was humdrum said Cap
I had to take a luxurious old person’s nap
Boredom put me down hard, I reposed in a stream
Ready for an exciting adventuresome dream
My body loved it so much, he wanted another
But alas, I was awakened by my hundred-year-old-mother
Did you feed the chickens? The horses? The sheep?
I had to leave my castle and surrender my sleep.

This is me hidden in the shadow
Standing in this cold corner of this resort
I listen to the people who are laughing
Passing by this greenery lot.
They pretend to be happy
But are they? Or not?
This resort is luxurious and expensive
But how much can you pay for a clean room
When having a dirty soul'
How much can you pay for a beautiful view
When it's dark and ugliness inside of you'
How much can you pay for luxurious buffet dinner and food
When your inner hunger is screaming at you'
This is me hidden in the shadow
Sitting in front of my signature cocktail drink
How could anything ever be grander than the Eternal Feast?
How could you pay to buy something with a humans stamp
And not be eager to get God's signature on your thoughts and acts.
This is me hidden in the shadow
Falling down and kneeling hungry and worned.
Lord, don't forget me, at your Heavenly Triumph.

Sometimes life may be simple
Especially after you recovered from
A certain sickness
Being bedded too long is dull
Sickness makes you suffer and worry
Sickness is a burden to everyone
You find many things not meaningful
You have to rest for a further journey
You have to regain energy on and off
Not to work for greeds and desires
The devils of your heart
A cup of coffee is wonderful
A chitchat is luxurious
A gathering is excellent
A prayer is heartening warm
A poem is a simple gift
Let's take a short break
To enjoy a simple and leisure day
Before it's too late

Life is full of several good items, a mother is their bag
offspring, an addition to her toil but never considered a lag.
She is invaluable, even if wearing rag
family, career, society; yet suffers no drag.
Fertility is blessed for nature and humanity to brag
strong arms to protect, absolute care, the tag.
Breasts to nourish, the little life sings, not nag
love so wide, allowing everyone to wag.
Pure and simple is this heart that its muscles never sag
gives more and more, despite causing more than one gag.
Her tears give her strength much credence
her pain, devastating to pull down any fence
and gives stiff protection, which sometimes make no sense.
The cat easily licks the kitten at no expense,
curb, carried by the jaw of the lioness in full conscience.
Sweet responsibility not for sale, not even in pence,
colours existence beautifully and gives it true essence.
Oh these nurturing hands, beat the assessment of science.
For the bonding with her young, osmium is less dense,
true motherhood to every being is enough opulence.

The gift of friendship
A most precious gift of all
True friends are always there for you
Come running when you call
Whatever the time
Be it day
Be it night
Whatever the wherewithal
You may not see them for a while
But when you talk upon the phone
It feels like only yesterday
As if no time has passed at all
A friend you trust with everything
They share your highs and lows
Such special souls sweet angels on earth
Priceless gems their friendship’s worth
In life we meet just one or two
They feel the same ‘bout me and you
Our love and care goes back and forth
Our hearts and souls a magic force
Friendship has no boundaries at all
They sense your pain before you call
Wrapping your soul with love and warmth
Like the softest luxurious cashmere shawl

rain lives
in the womb of clouds
black and white clouds
flying over the sky crowd
the sun
on its orbital path as usual
but parched bone
feels the sun hottest
I, the cruel people
kill thousands flora and fauna
luxurious life
dries fully the humane tears
now there is no coolness
in retina, visual cortex, optic nerve of the earth...

~Luxurious Lady~
(The Wordsmith)
Beautiful beyond belief
Enchantingly enduring ensemble
Autumn again assents
Unleashing unruly uproars
Taciturn tender tendrils
Ideal images impact
Fall, fascinating face
Uncanny, ultra unique
Luscious, luxurious lady

Bubbles adoringly cling
To long, lean appendages,
Slowly caressing in sensuous delight
As the slide over satin epithelial;
Following each indentation,
Every crevice and crease;
Gliding lovingly across semi- aroused flesh;
Bringing tension and awareness to every synapse;
Heightening sexual responses
As each bubble boldly pops
Over sensitive erogenous zones;
Reeking havoc with the senses.
At last, their job done,
They turn liquid- a rush of sensation
Then leisurely trickle down the drain,
Their intimate interlude complete

The train moves with its clickitty-clank of noise
Whistle blows steadily as it does approach
The train exists perfectly within its poise
The seating that's inside are first class and coach
Sight of the train approaching is tremendous
The train is rather plush, it’s luxurious
People move in and out of the lovely train
Doing daily chores, nothing is very plain
