Best Tempt Poems

You tempt me
As I sense your presence by my side
The whisper of your flowing silken dress
A whiff of fragrant jasmine scent.
 
You tempt me
With each flicker of your doe-brown eyes
Shadowed in lilac hues and full dark lashes
A smile, partly concealed on pouting lips.
 
You tempt...

It was time to visit the stars
To embrace them with my senses
Though the price was astronomic
I saved up for the expenses

Most think stars are unreachable
Due to the heat that they emit
But perhaps they’re very cautious
Just like a candle barely lit

To my delight way out in...

All things can tempt me from composing words
I long to write praising these carefree birds.
A nice sonnet by noon could be achieved,
But first my bladder needs to be relieved!
Oh wait, there’s gardening that must be done,
Plus meals. Then chores – the enemy of fun.
In time,...

temptation is only the bait
what follows is much worse in fate
you just take a bite
then no need to fight
you're stuck in the spiritual gate...

All things can tempt me from the verse I need to write:
Even the dishes can sway me from my plight.
The rain, it’s lashing hard upon the window pane.
It’s stopped - I’ll write. No! There it goes again.
Could it be I’m too tired? Could it be...

Knowing what you meant invokes me to cry
Did you mean to be so completely cruel
You found the ones wounded in me how
Too comfortable with discouragement now
That only took a single blow
Blow by blow we never know
Did you mean to steal courage away
I’ve never met the...

Outershell awaiting to melt
Teasing me into temptation
Cracks and smudges as I bite
Outershell with fate to crack
Rich indulgence of luxury
Smooth and irresistibly tempting
Decisions of temptation
Outershell with fate to fatten
Rich indulgence of calories
Smooth and irresistibly curvaceous
Decisions of temptation
Outershell with fate of juiceness
Rich indulgence  of vitamins
Smooth and...

Its my composure that you have shot into pieces, your eyes stab me in the heart like daggers
Now I stagger, I'm...

All Things Can Tempt Me

All things can tempt me, albeit, rapture,
Quill be as ready, for the next chapter,
Favor the poets who savor the art,
Eloquent locutions sweetly impart,
Unlike some poets too busy with swords,
Fancifully toss their well-chosen words,
Nay, let e'er a woman's face be as worse,
That...

All Things Can Tempt Me

All things can tempt me - my pen remains quiet,
Spellbound by downpours - thunder in riots;
A walk with the dog – that last chocolate cookie, 
Final sales tempting – I want to play hooky;
An oncoming nap sneaking up from behind -
Hunger...

Tempt me to be funny
And I will be sharp on the money
And I will rattle off a joke
At some poor souls expense
But words will never hurt me...

Material manifestation makes man want to make things go far.

The desire to acquire is like fire burning in every twinkling star.

Many have been lost in illusion of the self for not knowing who we are.

Misguided, misled , and misjudged by selfishness of the judges at...
