Indulgence


Do not indulge myself
In feelings of overwhelm
 or even joy
Indulgence is seductive
 like a ploy
While I indulge in
feelings of my heart
I am lost to now
and that is just the start
It’s such a lovely feeling
 revelations bring about
It can sometimes leave
 me reeling
So much I need a shout
from my best self
The one that knows this stuff
The one who understands
and never cuts up rough
That shout will bring me
back to senses in my 
thrall
Here and now consciously
a need to keep my
 eye upon the ball
