Agony of Riches

The ultimate indulgence…
blind acceptance

All standards rescinded
—all judgment forlorn

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)


Holy Water

Sacred in its offering,
christening the past

Wellspring of indulgence
—running free at last

A Matter of Taste

Morbid Fascination?
Eccentric arbitrary
Pseudo Sadistic
Indulgence?
Same Thing?
You bring Abomination,
I'll bring the booze.

Sun rises birds sing
indulge a craving for soul
first meal of the day

Does every indulgence begin
and end in sex?
How far away is every
trench-coated slam poet 
from spewing illicit
half-kids onto 
the front row?

Rachel

tension in the air
mistakes previously forgotten
brought forth by another
sorrow fills the mind
indulgence of the flesh
quash dreams of the soul

Premium Member Irish Indulgence

A sweet aroma wafts by
Lamb, onions, I cry
Enjoyed in my youth were those
Creamy potatoes,
Peas, spices and cheese
Shepherd’s Pie
PLEASE!

Myriad patterns we have created ~
They represent desires unabated

There is no harm per say in illusion ~
It’s indulgence that causes delusion

Knighted By the Queen (Call Me Sir Sidney)

I was knighted by the queen, I think
When I gate crashed the ball wearing pink
She said “goodnight I say”
“Guards take him away”
Due to the over indulgence of drink

bohemian indulgence
monk mode renunciation
both wishing to be elsewhere
away from the here and now
are caught in egoic glue
wallowing in shallows

Premium Member Miners Eating Dessert

Digging through the sweetest of a fine soft solid substance,
Looking for the velvety amber caramels and chocolates,
But such indulgence all too often renders them as delicates.

Age, By This Pool

That indulgence
Giggled him, her
Through a quick ran and jumped in
Cool-splashed water
As remote, Age
Relating to
Lands, fierce-blown, desert-faced
Fruit, smooth with dew.

Premium Member Orphan In the Dock

(Before Sentencing.)

They called him ‘Poor Boy’
a victim of life’s promise...
a voice without love
neither percipient of
nor an indulgence in it.

Condemn

damage to the
what if this
what if that-
complete & utter
loss.
blood runs;
the sauce
of sin
beckoning,
condemning indulgence
to continuance,
wearing out those
wicked wants.

Seasonal Lover

My love was the springtime
In season
In bloom for you alone
Bearing the fruit of love
for you to harvest
Your appetite for me was 
A seasonal indulgence
My love for you was
Never-ending

A Different Kind of Hunger

too much whipped cream
on the half-calf latte of over indulgence
a little more as the cup empties
& we try to fill the void
then your whole mouth just tastes like dairy
& you want to throw up

Premium Member SOLITUDE

scarcely
    minded
an
   eventual
indulgence

an added
         lustre
to life

natural
        & normal

   isolated
      idosyncratic
away
  from
   the
       sphere
of
life

Premium Member Hours of indulgence

Sunday afternoons were for reading
She'd get lost in worlds of fantasy
Of mystery and adventure
She'd escape and let her mind wander
To far corners of the world and beyond

Frugal

I fear 
the flavor of fruitfulness,

the fullness of tables, 
burden bent
by fleeting bounty

I dread the feast;
festivals 
of frivolous indulgence

because I know 
Famine rides hardest
where blessings rot.

Premium Member Chai Tea Latte

Curled up with a book and a chai tea latte
All the cares of the day disappear from sight.
It's a sinfully good indulgence to end the day
And relaxes me as my day becomes night.
Perhaps a second cup? Yes, I just might.

Treasure inside thy womb excruciate pain, tears that fall. a years of graveyards, fading glance. dried petals, dying desires. Losing glamour and indulgence. in exchanged of love, to our dearest one.
