alone to relate...

an exhilarated sense 
indulgent and exultant
powerfully me
a confident zealousness

Moonlight, soft blades
Of painted breezes
Perfect melodies, dancing
In my indulgent dream
Luscious visions
Within delicious thoughts...

She was having a fall-dee-rah day.
None of her comrades could come out to play.
Exceedingly smart,
Created some art,
Entertaining her indulgent fun ways!...

The ninety-six degree temperature,
Sunlit leaves smile on the day.
I filled birdfeeders at six.
Did a little painting.
Re-watched old TV
Self indulgent

Lasts too

Being indulgent with oneself 

But intolerant with others

One, inevitably, 

Succeeds in imprisoning himself

Within the walls of ruinous hypocrisy!

That Dish

 

The seasoning splashes over

Gently he tosses the creation


To smell, to taste

Is it perfection?


Creating love, combining passion

Fresh and giving

Succulent, indulgent and orgasmic


That dish...

G entle and generous giver of gifts,
R eader of stories galore,
A smile and the patience of Job has she,
N urturing, indulgent and more.
D elightfully attentive,
M aking cookies, playing games,
A hug and a kiss she's always ready for.

Sam’s butterfly sleeves, in pastel hurry,
Gently billow like seagulls over feet.
Indulgent, salted drops of sea, so sweet.
Tan sand across her sandal straps, run free.

In the shelter of unquiet eyes
i've found a place, by night to hide
Forsaking day's harsh scenic views
to choose instead 
the comfort of softer hues
Always here, the world is lit
by Moon's indulgent grey
Pale & radiant she sits;
Highest Priestess
of Night's bliss...

Humility~
Jesus sat with sinners
uplifted the lowly
and washed the Disciples' feet.
The Pharisee valued power more than souls
was greedy and self-indulgent*
and expected the best seat.*

Strong coffee
  bitter in its drip
  black and hot slow sips,
aroma enhanced 
  aged on the tongue umami
  delightful and indulgent tsunami,
a caffeine high
  waking from the midnight dark
  to morning wide-eyed sparks,
coffee 
  a burnt umber brew
  greeting every day anew....

Fair winds and following seas.
May full sails surge with scudding breeze.
May peaceful moorings host your craft
wherever indulgent winds waft.

A toast now to your safe return.
May choppy seas be left astern.
May evening offer pleasing berth
to ensconce in halcyon firth....

Listen to poem:

*Image of Iris The Greek Goddess by Redbubble.

Iris

Iris nicknamed Eye-ris,
Iridescent paired wings,
Indulgent to the gods,
Iliad's messenger,
In waiting for Hera,
Ignored in ancient myths,
Idyllic comes and goes.

when glowworms	
in the stygian night
threw flickers of light 
like scattered gems,

when little birdies cuddled under
their mother’s warmth,
while the long whistle of a train
was dying in the distance,

I sensed the indulgent grip
of the hands of Sleep 
who  hauled me 
to his gilded chamber of dreams!...

When I wander the realms of daydreams,
   and fond memories of being with you,
      my heart engages in sweet release.

Within those indulgent moments
   I find solace and a calming peace,
      brief interludes of contentment.

The better the words 
  formed

The meaner they 
  became

       ‘free and alive
       and stirred from the bottom

       'hidden and denied
       in moments of pain’

Taking on new life
  they glare and they scowl

Staring back from the mirror
  —my indulgent refrain

Allow that thought:
Next comes the sign.
Expose the plot,
eXplore and find;
Piece by piece see,
Ere shadows sway;
Rise up to free,
Intuit bold stray;
Embark on quest,
Now and here spring;
Charm claims your best,
Indulgent fling;
Ask to achieve,
Lift fierce beliefs

Staring at a freckle
Misunderstanding her power
Deleting my feeble attempt at happiness
I sigh at my self-imposed, self-indulgent lunacy

who cares?
No one
A beauty mark in some circles
not considered a blemish at all.
Crazy feelings entertained freely by me 
which mean nothing

I pointedly ignore the freckle
the rest of my life......

Shifty eyes belie camouflaged avarice, seeking a higher share of family inheritance by employing specious logic, jockeying for an advantage. The seemingly dreamy elder sips coffee, nodding in consent.

discerning eye knows
recognising wayward ways
soul smile indulgent

The one who's forbidden,
The apple unbitten.
You fight with temptation
For a love unallowed. 

I promise to let you
Do things how you need to,
For love isn't hurried,
Self-indulgent or proud.

Though constricted by chains
They will rust in the rain,
Because time is a healer
And our wounds won't last.

I promise to love you.
I will be the one who
Will hold your hand as we
Set fire to the past....
