Divine temptation
                                                    dangerously forsaken
                                                       senses awaken

                                                        Illusion of lust
                                                   her galaxy of star dust
                                                    redemption of trust 

                                                        In captivity
                                             bow down to her majesty                    
                                               Fruit falls from her tree

                                                      It is forbidden
                                             yet too sweet to keep hidden
                                                   wanted but didn't

ok, now I see what you were talking about. I had not realized about this one. I can't even keep all the contests straight any more!

Is this for Constance's contest or for Love Talks? It sounds great, Nicole.
