Unimaginable delights suspended
directly on a whim.
Earthly desires, a plethora buffet,
dangerously tantalizing.
Metaphorically a yo-yo, pleasing to the sense;
as the sands of time tick away,
unpronounced to the player.
Money precipitates from the sky,
drizzling seamlessly into your hand,
contaminating a soul.
Gluttonous attractions,
mysteriously appearing into your pockets,
as the luck of the world is manipulated,
in your direction momentarily riding,
the silver lining of the devils coat tail.
Blink, ice flowing through your spine;
as fate snaps the string,
a fury unbalanced, orchestrating a performance,
eternally bound.
