Luxury

From Abundance born, an heir

Only the best and brightest

The world places at his feet

Nothing less accepts Luxury


All excess could never satisfy him

What you possess, insufficient

There is always something more

Food, clothes, money, love

To fill the hole in your soul


A thousand eyes searching for any flaw

even a minute crease or a speck of dust

Is not allowed to dim his glow


Desire bows to his master

A vision in a pearly gown

His addicting touch a drug

A compulsion, an obsession

Impossible to let him go

And he knows is not the sin

But what you make of it all


That which for some may be no more

Than the dullest, simplest rock,

For others is a treasure, a boon

More precious than gems and gold.
