Best Temptations Poems
If you can make the gray sky bluer,
or make it rain whenever you want it to.
Can you build a castle from a single grain of sand,
and make the ship sail on dry land?
If you can turn a river into a raging fire,
or live forever if you so desire,
then take this advice from me
and listen very carefully:
You should not worry about getting next to her.
She should be trying to get next to you!
Little Temptations
Sultry this evening with temperatures rising
Nary a breeze whispers soft, ever slow
Tempting the flavor of love as I taste you
Drenched in your essence, above and below
Softly you sigh as my mouth finds your nectar
Coating my lips now a glisten with sheen
Maundering tender this garden of longing
Caressing petals so moist in between
There in your eyes as if heaven is pleading
High overhead for the whole world to see
Whispers afloat of a satin-like feeling
Hands follow curves as they wander so free
Clutching my hair with the passion of sunset
Fragrance alluring of fresh mountain yew
Willows still weep as I’m drawn ever deeper
Consuming the fruits ripened sweet of the view
Moans seem to echo as breaths leave me falling
Lost in the ecstasy found in a dream
Calling my name in a desperate fashion
Little temptations now more than they seem
Warm flowing syrup of a maple trees blushing
Pouring of love ever pure from the vine
Fill me with you as my hunger is needing
Every ounce of this moment divine
Good night Soupers
Temptations
Is it just my imagination runnin’
away with me or,
is my girl really leavin’ me.
I need her to stay and I’m
not too proud to beg to keep
her from goin’ out that door.
The temptation is almost overwhelming
And the will is almost losing
For the body is almost winning
It is on the verge of doing
What the heart had promised to stop doing
They say where there is a will there is a way
But what happens when the will is weak anyway?
When your heart says lets go this way
And your brains say it is not the right way
When you know what course to take
Yet the course you are taking is fake
And knows that you will end deep in the lake
And still that course you take
As though bewitched.
Somehow deep within
You find strength therein
That you soak all the temptations in
Leaving you drained after fightin'
But with the sweet smell of victory.
Libations Temptations
O’Leary poured the draught with finesse
O’Brien slid to the floor for some rest
passed out so quick
foam thick on his lip
Ah, the shame of an unfinished Guinness

While softly shining over head at midnight,
twinkling down her golden beams of light
on those below in attune.
Lovers gaze and swoon
at mellow
moon
of yellow
gently lighting June.
This glowing orb hums her tune,
baiting passions tempting with delight
while softly shining over head at midnight.

Listen no more to these words I speak
Whenever they have been preceived to be
Dipped into the tissues cup, of bitten agains tainted truths....
Hear me sigh this breath of deepened remorse
Within these pangs of fleshes amissful regrets?!
So turn from me, if beyond my soul your eyes have met
My plague; my thorns; buried in these broken bones
This slashing upon my face
That from my birth has maimed my very world....
These splinters, of my own frailties of weakness
Tantalizing and piercing, innocent and beautiful hearts!?
But I did not ask for this curse I said
And as Paul once did, many centuries long ago
I pled with "My Father," to please remove this from my sorrows
Oh that I would have been born a crippled or disfigured I pondered
Rather, than to hold these temptations scars....
So please, turn from me if within this mirror you see
The sickles of carnals slaughtered
Rising from the ashes of its smitten burning pit?!
For all I have ever longed for in this life
I have watched crushed, by the image of this reflection
Which buries it blade deeply and unremittingly
Into this why me paved heart....
This portrait of pretty; which melts within its bidden pain
Since the days that I can remember; the crumbling of stars before my sight
Dissolving my spirit, into this crows foot cauldron
Of the bewitching darkness' very own brew!?
There is only one hope within this life I find
And it shall never be found, within this enigmatic skeletals body....
Break these fetters and shatter these eyes "Dear God;" these orbs
Shackled; that I may live, beyond the burning of this rotting corpse?!
Listen no more to these words I speak
Whenever they have been perceived to be
Dipped, into this grave of the craddles repose
The temptations of hades wanton, and, bloodied....

Some kisses are just kisses.
Anyone can give a kiss, however,
When kisses are met with heartfelt passion
Your whole world can change.
Girl, no need to be nervous
As I lay here and view
The spectacular landscape of your body.
Yours eyes are closed, look deep within.
Your golden hair is a wispy frame
Which forms your lovely face.
I know I just met you and yet
We flirt, we joke and we kiss.
When things get crazy in my life
I think of you and nothing else matters.
You, my beautiful new friend know
Exactly how to make me smile.
Kisses so sweet as to melt our lips,
Have concealed the feelings of guilt.
These stolen moments of temptations
Will remain etched in our hearts forever.
Open to another kiss....
I will take a jog, but will not go near the grocery store
I will pass by the grocery store, but will not open the door
I will go in there, but will not go down the aisle where the ice cream is on sale
Oh! I promise!... I just can’t feel my feet any longer!
I will look at the ice cream, but will not pick it
I will pick it up, but will not buy it
I will buy it, but will not open it
Oh! Promise! Just let me have it! It’s on sale!
Open it, but not smell it
Smell it, but not taste it
Taste it, but not eat it
Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
Ohhh! Freaking deceiving joy of calories is this!
Three months to lose, but took me a minute to gain
Promise! Promise! This is the last one, I swear!
I will just go to bed when I feel like jogging again.
Time had just begun
Immortal loves above have sung
Touching gods first garden below
Sins soon to be committed
Theologs ponder life’s creation
Introspection into life, all that existed
Telling tales of desire, bringing us to erotic dreams
Succulent in all ways
Tender are the forbidden fruits
Invoking the expulsion to come
Torrential rains cover paradise floors
Seductive banishment opens eternity’s door
When my eyes stop at a ring
on your finger
I wonder why this feeling
even stronger
I know for sure you're taken
Though my heart's not
broken, you've caught me in
your prison
Look at those eyes, intensely
stroking my heart
And those lips, offering
heating kiss
The closer you are, I smile a
nectar
You say your name, only
your sexy voice I can hear
I gaze your face, your neck is
on my trace
You invite yourself to my place
I definitely shall be whipped,
if I tried to resist
Then all of a sudden, your
ring touches my cheek
It is cold and rings my
conscience
As alluring your illicit
temptations are
I'd never scratch other
woman's heart
Wanting pleasures never known before
Awakened by sinful desires
Naked for those who choose to see
Unfolding elements of temptation
Breathless for words unable to speak
Enchanted by each turn of phrase
Whisper softly across this breast
Entice the other with skillful knowledge
Welcoming in this sensitive heart
With wanton thoughts of what's forbidden
Melting amid passions unleashed
While coming to the end of this rainbow
I conquered all my invisible, singing and dancing temptations, except CHOCOLATE!!!!!!

Battling temptations is very hard to do,
You want to serve them what is underneath,
Buried from the view of eyes,
But burning in the soul and on your flesh,
I long to run free with all my desires,
And have it scorch both our skin.
Open relationships
Need strong moral fiber
Express your true feelings
Never lie to your own heart
Ignite your passions
Give them air to breathe
Hope for a reciprocal breeze
Trust that same moral fiber
Search for a reciprocal soul
Trade your heart for theirs
Avoid fast-track love
Never fall prey to peer pressure
Dangerous liasons
Sadly end with tears
