Collector

I am a collector of sorts
Categorizing the pleasures of my heart
Into a kaleidoscope of passion
Selecting my vices upon a whim
Trapping that which tempts my soul
With hands made to touch
The invisible background of ecstasy;
Languidly I revel in my imagination,
Avidly I reminisce the hunt…

I walk as if a kin to time
Absorbing myself into lust
With a insatiable indifference;
Yes, I am a collector,
Selecting shades from caramel to chocolate
Butterscotch to molasses
Slim built to heavenly blessed
Touched with sexiness
Or blessed with humbleness
Braids to the ground
Or natural as the Mother land
A kiss that stings like death
Or a taste sweeter than honey
All have tickled my palate
And quenched a temporary thirst

I am a collector of beautiful things
I store these gifts as memories
Pieces that form a complete thought
And I do it with a passion
That some would call womanizing
But I would disagree only to agree
That sometimes I know not what I do
For I am but a man
A stealer of souls
And granter of dreams
A victim unto myself
A lover to the blind
A comforter of the lonely
That last ray of sunshine
Before darkness swallows your heart.

Marcel

Very interesting piece here. Just one question, if this person is a womanizer as stated how can he be a comforter of the lonely? It isn't it the womanizers who create the lonely?

Thanks for the read.

Goodness, Marcel. I enjoyed this poem about the womanizer.
