Savage

I have no pledges just
indulgences.

I live in fatherless harmony,
a puppet with no strings.

a laughing kiss created in danger.
and abuse


Premium Member Wish we could slow things down

September just around the corner
summer indulgences so quickly come and gone
~ time slips through our fingers

As beguiling costumes dazzle eyes flashing glitter heightens indulgences. Jasmine kisses lightheadedly make nerves of passion quiver. Rhinestone stars twinkle usurping Venus with xanthic yellow zircons. (ABC Poem)

Amsterdam

Right out side the coffee shop,
   Below St. Peter's hands
      The purveyors of indulgences
   Have set up little stands

And should some half-waked baker
   Come and stir about the pot
       The double-arched McDiocese
   Would (likely) thank me not.

Oh, what a style – my, what a look!
Make it flounce with lace and luxuries galore,
Add ruffles and superfluities with a golden hook,
Embellish the indulgences all others adore,
Excessive immoderation is what you should cook,
I’ll have cheese on my burger – my delectable amour!

Premium Member April shower

a torrential rain drenched us today
much needed some would say

now, after the chaos, settles the calm
while the sun casts its golden glow
on one and all like a warm coat of honey

and we recall how darn lucky we are
to be alive as we eagerly await
oncoming summer indulgences

Adrift Endings

Hauntingly explicit, plighted
  in yesterday's cloaked mystery,
wafting as whispers through
 wistfully grayed memories on dimly 
          recalled moonlit indulgences,
winding imprecise hazy endings
    beyond darkly covert horizons

 love isn't blind, it's persistently unsighted 
                by distantly echoed adrift endings

Premium Member Weeping Willow, Why So Sad

W ailing weeping willow waltz
E namored ennui envy
E lusive entanglement
P layful pensive pendulum
I ntwined infatuation   
N arcissist nocturnal nymphs   
G randest ghostly gathering  

W ayward worship wonderland
I ntimate indulgences  
L ustful loneliest laments  
L ingering luscious lovers  
O bscure and oblivious 
W ild wasted whirlwind whispers

in the dust
       of
           butterfly wings

short stories of 
      immortalised  era, 
a
              type cast   'pigeion holed'.

a history 
         as well as an
                entertainment,written
 to realise 
               the wherewithal
           to float  longer indulgences thus
    they become 
 a truer appraisal of giftings 
     and motifs of manners

Stardust Wanderlust

'Twas a diamond amidst stardust struck of gypsy's celestial adoration, crashed and sizzled 'neath earthly intentions, ultimate shimmers escalated upon fiercely impetuous seas, each dappling luminescent waves saturated of splendiferous galaxies, bathed in heavens' stellar effulgence, mesmerizing wanderlust's magnificent indulgences

Premium Member Releasing

Releasing egoism,  vanity, and idle 
  chatter destroyer of hope. What's 
  in it for you and me? Releasing 
  Unconsciously second-guessing 
  self, Overthinking situations that
  no longer serve one's purpose. Releasing 

  Why want anything pushing it away?
  Anxious thoughts hurt people, hurt people, 
 Self-indulgences, False Evidence appearing
real, Bribes and cold, cruel-hearted individuals,
failures, illusions, and oppositions. Releasing

Regretting Cake

Cake was desirable,
And so deliciously dreamy,
People were attracted emotionally,
Using it when they felt down,
Hiding their dark secret from others,
Feeling guilty about their indulgences,
Uncontrollable affairs,
Enticing and mesmerizing
Entrapping people with sweet charm,
Candlelit nights secluded rendezvous,
Passionate words spoken,
Entrapping with taste,
Sometimes disguising,
With different dressings,
But was the most appealing,
When covered in cream.

It's Reigning Poets

Rain made no apologies to sun
as it satiated a whetted appetite,
opined it was the right of nature
unconditionally given dispensation
by Mother Earth's nurturing favor
of life-giving creative indulgences,
whereon flower's blooming accolades
truly know the opulence of its essence,
whilst aroused poet's inspired reveries
ever shine 'neath abundant cloudbursts


 Anyone who thinks that sunshine is pure happiness,
 has never danced in the rain. -- unknown
