Temptation

Lets braid our hair with flowers	
And dip our toes in spring		
Lets throw our leaves into the wind	
And feel warm zephyrs on our skin	

Lets get drunk on our hot breath	
lie in long grass ‘neath the tree	
and sink our teeth in blushing fruit	
Then you can wipe the juice from me 

lets crush the daises in the grass	
ignore the serpent there		
we’ll caress the earth below us		
With our bodies bare			

Don’t be coy now, take my hand	
New pleasures we will seek		
I’ll guide you to the brightest light	
And in rapture we will sleep
