hovering and fluttering 
iridescent eyes 
pollinating temptation 
just give in to a slow taste.

why do believers 
           when facing moments of doubt 
                 just blame temptation

Well, at least not on weekdays

Deliver me from evil

For those temptations on weekends

Lead us NOT into temptation
Just deliver copulation
You may think it odd
That we pray to God
But 'tis caused by desperation!

Temptation

closing to me
you are
unchanging
falling on my own
hiding and waitng
with the trap
like love
unconditionally in everything.

Overflowing temptation.

Dont Tempt Me

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

Struck me deeply without a warning
My bitter heart danced with admiration
With the taste of thee-- sweet temptation.

My conscience... and my temptation
My greatest virtue is my dearest sin
My stength and weakness: my love of him

Addicted to sugar
And all that makes me fat
One little cookie
Who’s fooling who
One is too many
A hundred not enough

Oh, how can I resist?
Luscious chocolaty creaminess presented with such allure.
My diet starts... tomorrow morning !

The Pathway

Stepping stone Nirvana,
a pathway through the maze

Temptation churns between the stones
—each tread fruition laid
