Let’s us drink and play a game
It might set us free
Matching and mixing
Till we’re maxed all tapped out
Spun around oozing sugar
The sickening unto death sweetness
Of invading all pervading lust
We will ache for all tomorrows
To come and then some
But it’s OK, it’s alright
Let it reign
An era of indolence
Till the waters rise
To wash it all away
Then its time to rise and shine
Start again fresh and clean
With newly laundered souls
And sparkling crystal eyes
A touch that thrills to the slightest tremor
In the nearest galaxy
And hear the rhythm section
Of the spheres and the stars
Shimmering points of light so tight
As they improvise upon creation
This is really some concoction
Drink to the depths this witches brew.
Lush and sensual poetry Mr. Cake beautifully paired with the lovely artwork of Alison Bickle .

Thank you Miss Heart. It was a bit of a spur of the moment kind of poem, but hopefully it works on some level.

Your final stanza evokes a mystical image that is enchanting. I apologize for misspelling Ms. Blickles name.

That depends on the will of the Goddess, mysticism and charm surely fall under her sway. I better appease her quickly.

Indeed. Of course being a Goddess she demands a high price.
