James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

“All things can tempt me from this craft of verse: One time it was a woman’s face, or worse – The seeming needs of my fool-driven land; Now nothing but comes readier to the hand Than this accustomed toil.”

— William Butler Yeats

Yet All Things Can Tempt Me-

I am a sinner and yet instill
all things can tempt me

my passions rage within my will
yet all things can tempt me

I can feel in the moral of my bones
The ill gotten chills of my heart and soul

my passions rises within my heart boils
yet all things can tempt me

material things I want them ALL
within myself I  wound, steal, or kill for

just the thoughts of stealing revolting
choice processes still our baiting

since the dawn of creation
I am a sinner and yet instill
all things can tempt me

my passions rage within my will
yet all things can tempt me
