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...

Little Temptations
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...

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.

Illuminations, Temptations, Life's Travails Endured 
 
Weep for Truth that man's inherent evil betrayed
Zeus hurled lightning bolts, paradise dreams delayed;
Intriguing words, those tales of mythological beasts
Sirens tempt, alluring songs, dark orgasmic feasts:
Man that so blindly eats, stirring to walk upright,
Consuming illusions of...

Fighting Temptations
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...

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

Premium Member Temptations of the Moon
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.

Temptations Wanton...."flesh!?"
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...

Temptations
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!......

Stolen Moments of Temptations
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...

Premium Member The Temptations of Eve
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...

Illicit Temptations
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...

Temptations Element
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...

Erotic Temptations
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....

Premium Member Life On the River
A balance in life can solve the riddle. 
To find the balance, start in the middle.
Distractions from the banks may lead us wrong.
Go with the flow where the current is strong.

The banks are sirens calling to our ears,
offering us pleasures relieving fears.
The emotion of love,...
