"temptation"

Its so tough to fight temptation for that forbiden fruit.. We try to act strong as our mind starts to question truth.. Do we take that apple from the tree? or do we walk away and search and see.. The sweet taste of wrong feels so right, a walk through a forest where there is little light.. The devils hand so warm and caresing, leads a way to a place without stressing.. A jacuzzie of fire that pulls us in, I must say feeling this good shouldn't be a sin.. Our hands touch as the fire grows, lifting our hearts where only our souls will show.. Being bad isn't always right, we need to pick and choose or stay till the morning light..

Temptation can make us question our values, Michael. But I have the feeling the type of passion you are describing here is enhanced by the feeling of being "off limits." Can relate. Well done! Love, Carolyn
