The Decadent Lie

3RD EDITION .2017
The Decadent Lie is not a book of secrets or some great abstact ledger overburdened of complex thought. It is a thing of beauty and regaling intimacy. There is a new and vibrant journey awaiting on every page. The writing is alive and playful.

A wonderful revision of thought and artistry, showcasing the human condition in its varying moments of perfection and brokenness. Brought to life through the many facets of fleshed emotion and the awkward stumbling of the mind. This is a book to be indulged. 

Do you long for something beautiful, abundantly fulfilling and just the required amount of nostalgia? Then begin your pilgrimage here. In-between these pages you will find structure and mayhem occupying the same space as it strives to shine a light on the beautiful textures and complicated tapestry of this life. 

Every verse has its own bit of flesh and breath displayed openly for the reader. A harvest of poetic feast and lechery.

It is the moral/ immoral. It is the sighing of a momentary elation written to bonded pages. A brief reflection of that first love, a moment yielded to a longing kiss, or the pure perfection of soiled fingertips.

Delight yourself in the licentious fruit of the decadent as every line draws forth its own artistic imagery, its own bit of fascination and unadulterated wonder.

Allow yourself a moments indulgence. It is its own finite bit of mastery,its own eloquent weaving of thought and obscurity.

For the reader whom walks here, along this twisted path, let these lines fill you, eating deep into the very nature of you.
