Id n that part of the psyche which is regarded as the reservoir of the libido and the source of instinctive energy, it is dominated by the pleasure principle and impulsive wishing, Webster’s New World Dictionary

Go
Do what your heart desires
When burning with inner fires
Put down shovel and rake
There’s passion to slake.

Wash you body in their sweat
As the sensations override,

Splash sensual elation
To remove with ebbing tide.

Go,
Rush to the bounteous table
Gorge as much as you’re able
Fill yourself with trays of sweet,
Use both hands as you eat.

Devour continually
Everything you can find

Drink all the best things
Brandies and the vintage wine.

Go,
Take bathes in cream and milk
Wrap yourself in the finest silk,
~ Be the fashion and catch the eye
~ ~ The beauty that makes them sigh.

Thank you, Cpat Hair,
Pleased you enjoyed the attempt.
I can’t meet all challenges
But with this one the form was already established
So I just had to shuffle in a few words
