Risky untidy thoughts, racing my mind
holding hands softly, palms splendidly clutch
feed off your energy, your laugh shined
around the diner, several souls touch
Temptation itches, my frail spirit craving
picture my desire, buss my magic lips
oblivious sin, I’m misbehaving
torn apart, soar far from relationships
ruthless sin, reminiscing shady plans
revive God’s rules on adultery
asking sin to flee soon, stretching my hands
resisting attraction, strength bravery
My new husband and I were out gardening one day,
not quite over our honeymoon and wanting to play,
the humidity sweltering down on us along with the suns rays,
we both got undressed and rolled around in the hay,
Before we knew it we were both breaking out in hives,
completely forgetting about the dreaded poison ivy,
itching and scratching and now both of us feeling mean,
learning the hard way temptation itches on all living things.

Temptation Itches On All Living Things
Temptation itches on all living things
often nobody knows just how it stings,
not the icky-glues in its sticky pastes
nor the rotten fruits in its wasted wastes.
She the vixen nobody could resist
her vanishing pleasures - elusive mists,
long legs descend from heavenly skies
later, such dark pains in lamented cries.
Victim once thought to be heavenly bound
lost, voiceless, no understandable sound,
finds temptress, sexy wares designed to win
she that siren alluring to all men.
You scratch that itch, risking your own peril,
finding wounds that can never be sterile!

Last verse inspiration, from his poem "Between the Lines
Couplet sonnet
Rhyme Scheme: a a – b b – c c – d d – e e – f f – g g
10 syllables each line.
The government and its people stay on antagonistic sides
but what stimulates the rulers’ infidelity to patriotism
can easily be bought by any, over the counter.
They are desperately in need
of sailors to guide through the storm
yet for some reasons,
nurture a belief of so called anointed but empty vessels.
Structural human developments
siphoned by leadership’s exhaust pipes,
desecrating humanity’s sanctuary
for corruption to sell in wholesale.
The public treasury flows down
non-stop even bypassing its bladder,
as materialism and the quest for good life
break all of conscience’s administrative protocols.
Survival instincts undergo inflation
for civilization to suffer a recession
to this end, unity’s objections are overruled
by Nepotism and favouritism.
Social growth is blocked
and always in need of foreign catheter.
A direct current links poverty to the mindset and way of life,
giving a clear evidence of an economy
in desperate need of reconstructive surgery.
Coven or kennel
You are every kind of itch
Crawl back to you hole
