Devils Drive.

Rating.

Love flowed freely, as did the rouge wine !
In, banquet, was found means to fine dine.
Longing of heart, bringing food for thought.
Attractions, beyond words, wisely sought !

Within, the feasts, everything was meant !
Frustrations, taking on, the unfaithful vent.
Souls given, to be of the suspicious virtue. 
Lost were rules, to curb excess of a view !

Philosophy, of the cult, became a purpose.
Indecent promises,, coming to the surface.
As lives, were upended, for sake of Satan.
Sensual polls, leading to fate, relied upon !

See, " The Quick And The Dead " or " Caligula " !
To, realize, The End, matters.

" YOU, FEEL, IT. YOU, READ, IT. DO YOU BLEED, IT ? " The " braking " system reflected upon. Where, the fluid is changed, to cause " buffer- ring " effects. Rather, than " UNSTOPPABLE " forces, like " GRAVITY " or centrifugal " motions, spinning " out of control," dictating events. Regarding, LOVE, or any thing else, to matter. Materialistic metaphor replaced. Not by " PSYCHO " killer misdemeanour, but by " f..king " romance. Of, course. OF, A " TYPO " !! Why, would, that, not put a " curb " on acts, of a futile nature. " FROM BEYOND " nurture. And, " culture " !!  :) :) POETRY, ASIDE. Obviously.
P.S.  Can, you see, the " Promise " as well as the " Surprise " in store ? Sale, of the " Rocking " century, leaving none in doubt. Of, success, within, the literary context. Right ? Or, not ? Relating to, " FLESH AND BLOOD " in historical records !!  :) :) " GALAXY QUEST " to reach, the stars, away from " ELECTRIC BLUE " !! Hope springs eternal. Do you think ?
