Gamble
Glistening golden lights
Shining bright
Ricocheting from the mirror sheen
Of decadence’s polished gleam.
Florid pheromones
Float and flitter amist
Choking fumes
That waft from smoldering cigars
And between gilded teeth
Flashing covetous grins.
Dealing,
Wheeling,
Spinning,
Ringing,
All rattle the halls,
Testament to unending desire,
To unceasing coveting,
To the fruitless fervor brought about
Trying to tame the flickering flame of greed.
Royal courts of black and crimson;
Daring dice that dance to decadent desire;
Spinning spheres sliding round and round;
All decide the direction of fame and fortune.
Care to place a bet?
