A Call To Bacchus


 


Oh to dream my desires and lose myself in these fires
To contrast my body with the selfless misery
Of so many souls trapped in a vortex of my imagery
I love the soothing, sensuality of it all
Makes me want to embrace myself to the core
Please don’t awaken me to this illusion
Allow me once more to fulfil my delusion
Too many times I have abandoned this need
To submerge myself under this creed
Entangled, enhanced   enriched embraced
Inside this cauldron of my maker’s face
A mask for pure lust on a week long trail
Give me your flesh and let me sail
Into the sunset of oblivion….

    Inside this cauldron of my maker’s face

    For me this was the operative line, here was the Wow effect. Just the icing on a great poem.

    Dear Willian JJ: Indeed vivid the depiction of epic "sensuality". Dave is correct; this is an amazing line "inside this cauldron of my maker's face"...and the last line "sunset of oblivion" is brilliant as well.

    The whole poem was lovely. The above two lines are dangerously delicious.
