Excess, why yes, of
Course, eccentric libertines
Live for decadence.

I got casually drunk
swept away
on a wave of pleasure
an orgy of fun
on a hot summer's day
It was indulgent
hedonistic
decadent
joy
I didn't realise
what I'd done
until the next day

#poetry #prompt:

My rational side says the truth
in the light of a bright day
but I did not listen
I carried on regardless
I thought I could
climb many a mountain
swim long rivers
dance from tree to tree
give food to the hungry
set those wrongly imprisoned free

You are right about your last points, but it's not something that is not shouted from the rooftops, or commonly known

Francis H Powell writer and poet @fhpowellwriter.bsky.social · 16h

The Queen of a dark ivory tower
slumped on a canapé
sitting uneasily,
as if she's been shackled
by whispering wasps
stinging her ivory white skin
with nobody at hand
to redeem her tainted soul
