Eyes

He looked into the eyes of the beast Depraved promises flooded his brain He tried so hard to avert his gaze To prevent being devoured from within Depraved promises flooded his brain. "You must satisfy your every desire, to prevent being devoured from within." He wanted so badly to believe the lie "You must satisfy your every desire. She is my gift use her as you wish." He wanted so badly to believe the lie, He could lose himself within his desire "She is my gift use her as you wish." Luxurious skin, long flowing hair. He could lose himself within his desire Within his soul he was being held back Luxurious skin, long flowing hair He tried so hard to avert his gaze Within his soul he was being held back He looked into the eyes of God

Great write. Sometimes desire seems stronger than devotion to God, but with His help... nothing is impossible. Blessings

I see the devil at play in this write Rick, he will have his little games. It's a shame more people don't see it this way. Creative write, Great philosophy. Take care, Richard

Our life is indeed a battle between our carnal desire and our soul's willingness.To gaze in the eyes of God at our most needed time is a wise act not to fail to weakness.Very inspirational !!! Bravo.
