The Cave of Temptation

I stood in front of
the cave of Temptation 
and accepted the invitation

It was not
love at first sight 
but curiousity in the dead of  night


All I remember 
is that I was eager to surrender 
and I must admit 
that it only took half a second to submit

That once-only fling
has made me commit to one thing:
I will take the location of that cave
to the grave.
