#indulgent - Hello Poetry

Seattle is a sad place This can be the space I hallow Courage found to hear my grief and face the life of hate I leave Belief enough to begin again Gaining newness Making friends with all this blueness Making time to let it go Showing doubt passion flows The moment that nostalgia knows passes by with bitterness A feeling grows and shakes my bones Bigger than any memory Will I learn when my guts churn there is no phantom enemy? I am not alone My body will always be my home Craving direction I follow the vulnerability of connection Sobbing Terrified to be seen in reflection I reach out and embrace rejection Accepting neglect of my better self, my soul ascends detection

City of My Body

I've been down in the Sticks yes, I do, from time to time I'm not slow, but not that quick a place of vice, and crime A Skull of little virtue bones hard, and ultimate, inured long out, past the curfew things I'm unable, to procure Searching self, peering through knowing deep, in heart and soul not all the things I thought, or knew only all the feelings, of an absorbed, and selfish.....fool

*T'was 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 wave saturated of splendiferous galaxies, bathed in heavens' stellar effulgence, mesmerizing wanderlust's magnificent indulgences*

Decipher the beautiful Intricacies Woven with simplicity To create the Most elegant taffeta Striking hues And softer feel Silken moments Souls glide merrily Enchanting tales Laced with yearnings Shimmering covers Overzealous hearts Lustrous symphony Of rhythmic hearts

In the absence of temperance, I indulge in you. Submerging myself into the depths of your being, With an insatiable thirst for your flesh. Drinking your essence with my lips, Becoming intoxicated, Dominated by the power of your skin. A servant to your body. I worship you. In the absence of temperance.

In The Absence Of Temperance

In the absence of temperance, I indulge in you. Submerging myself into the depths of your being, With an insatiable thirst for your flesh. Drinking your essence with my lips, Becoming intoxicated, Dominated by the power of your skin. A servant to your body. I worship you. In the absence of temperance.
