Tempest of Temptation

Sailing along the sea

Nothing at all to see –

But a lover by your side

An unconventional lover …

One there with you to ride the tides.

And you ask yourself if this is right

Or if the ship will sink in a ray of light.

But you learn there is no worse tempest in creation –

Then the Tempest of Temptation.
