Darkness Never Sleeps

Temptress beside the river 
she beckons me from a hill
Lust permeates my body 
driven insane by her shrill
Temptation does pirouettes
Dancing naked within reach 
unquenched and oozing fire 
let me taste you, I beseech 

Temptress blindfolds my eyes 
her suiters are nothing like me
Ego seduces the conscience 
when passes are seemingly free 
Temptation is wearing a veil
insatiable between the sheets 
Together we undulate in sin
as her hair caresses my feet 

Temptress is a hall of mirrors
warping everything I can’t see
Projecting a sirens darkness 
into surrealistic fantasies 
Temptation controls the mist
morphing through my dreams
Brings me inside quasi heaven 
slave to her orgasmic screams

Temptress is an open invite 
closed mind’s always cheat
Spiked was the vamps chalice 
alas addiction’s bitter sweet 
Temptation, I sup her last drop
then go searching for desert 
Back into the vales of yonder 
one hour before she gave birth

Soulful and true poetry, David. The temptations that beset us all are near constant. To crucify the ego and choose light over darkness is a narrow path to walk. We all falter, hence the beauty of forgiveness is embellished. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, to guide us into reflection and introspection. You should do well in the contest. Bill

You see trough my poem Bill, the temptress is indeed allegory but very real, the path around is very narrow and unforgiving, tread carefully but if willing to throw caution to the wind, temptation will swallow us up and leave us high and dry, even at its very own expense, cheers David
