Mid smothered sighs, beckon to wind
smiles play around corner of your lips.
Guilty pleasure, smoked strawberries
beguile me to carry your world on hips.
I know your design, greed and lust
monsters that madly sweep the sky.
You forget they can not please this eye.
Though ardor, raging, gushed as sea
Love, advise me not on how to speak-
Guilty pleasure, gourmet blue cheese
observe as you try to soothe and tease.
I know your design, greed and lust
monsters that madly sweep the sky.
You forget they can not please this eye.

Such an interesting blend of sensory imagery, Sanaa. The choral effect of your repeated stanza creates a subtle contrast to your guilty pleasures stanza. A most intriguing poem.
Thank you so much, Kerry 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
(and thank you for the lovely prompt)
Interesting dance between those monsters who cannot please and the guilty pleasures.
Thank you so much, Paul 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
I feel that there are ways to battle the monsters… that you can be immune…
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Bjorn ❤️
I like the fact that you mixed sensual with scary, disgusting with flavorful. The use of your repeated stanza adds the feel of an old Greek chorus. Well done!
Oh gosh!❤️ Thank you so much, Toni 😀 so glad you enjoyed it!❤️
Good stuff, Sanaa. 🙂
Thank you so much, Shay 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
You bring a hope in this.
Thank you so much, Martin 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
Luv the comparison in the images you juxtaposed
Very interesting Sanaa
Much love…
Thank you so much, Gillena 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Hey Sanaa ~~ Greed and Lust are monsters of their own right. Yes, they can destroy one not well grounded in a belief that can not be shaken.
I smiled when you wrote of “gourmet blue cheese observ(ing) as you try to soothe and tease” as being a tempter. Of course I love blue cheese in all the ways that I know of.

Thank you so much, Jim 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
Greed and lust monsters, bearing smoked strawberries – a sensual poem, Sanaa. 🙂
Thank you so much, Kim 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
My you sound so strong and determined Sanaa, have you no weakness?
Thank you so much Robin ❤️ One thing I have learned in life is never to show signs of weakness, especially not when someone’s trying their best to bring out my worst side. Don’t give anyone the satisfaction of knowing they have any sort of control over you! ❤️
Love your take on monster, I’m hungry now for all those naughty things. Most enjoyable read
Thank you so much, Julian 🙂 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
blue cheese and smoked strawberry monsters… not among my guilty pleasures…though there are tons of others..too many sadly 🙂
Thank you so much, Rajani 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
What a sensual feast
Thank you so much, Jae 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
This really speaks of your strength, Sanaa. It is really good not to be seduced by the ‘monsters’ all around.
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Mary ❤️
Love the image of those monsters sweeping the sky. The repeated lines are very effective in underlining the strength in this poem’s message.
Thank you so much, Sherry 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
“Guilty pleasure…
beguile me to carry your world on hips.”
This is the kind of imagery that stays with a soul forever and ever and ever… Gorgeous!
Thank you so much, Magaly 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
A very sensuous and dangerously tempting poem.
Thank you so much, Rob 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
Oh sure, it’s fun to indulge in a guilty pleasure every now and again, but often they won’t sate what it is one is truly hungering for. Delightfully wry piece Sanaa.
Thank you so much, Rommy 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Sensual….Nicely done!
Thank you so much, Ayala 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
Passionate and sensual – it reads like a guilty pleasure.
Thank you so much, Wendy 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Blue gourmet cheese can pack on the pounds…..A roly poly is not pleasing to the eye. Wait until you get old Saana and then you can over indulge in gourmet cheese and strawberries, carry the entire universe on your hips and no one cares:)
Definitely 😀 thanks for stopping by, Cressida ❤️
Ah, those delicious guilty pleasures. Well done.
Thank you so much, Sarah 😀 so good to see you ❤️
They please my eye! And my imagination. As do your words. 🙂
Thank you so much, Rosemary 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
It’s harder to resist temptation, easier to fall to those monsters, unless you’re aware of that. Eloquently woven.
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Vinay ❤️
A little monster balances a life!
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Annell ❤️
