Cream inside;
lick my lips.

A
substantial
direction just calls;
Sitting undeniable
not
bored;
You just listen to your heart
beating like a drum;
Destiny
tempts.

The push-pull that provides rapport
Could faith in designers restore
More sense of our choice
Tempts us to rejoice
And make love not war with their door

Limerick
A quartered moon tortures the chill earth
tempts the night things. Thinning shadows
glide through the hoary mist, shiver
in a distant fear of Sun's rise.

Verse
When the Devil shows his hospitality
And tempts you with your own resentment
Do you flee, fight or freeze,
Or simply laugh and offer your hand
In gratitude.

Human beings are natural mystics.
And irrational characteristics
often lead us astray,
keeping logic at bay.
Satan tempts us with facts and statistics.

Limerick
Lost in Gods radiance,
Abundant nature,
In feminine form
Tempts me with desire.
Hungry eyes bewitched
By the exotic
Thirsts for the divine
So she can be mine?
I seek perfection
Let her follow me.

Things that are forbidden,
We always try to seek..
That what is hidden,
Tempts us more to peek..
The forbidden has this lure,
A lure with no cure..
Its a game with no wins,
All are prone to this deadly sin..

Attractive colors shine,
Ample juicy pulp tempts
Almost everyday as
At breakfast I eat one,
Assured by ancient phrase -
An apple a day drives
Away the doctor far.

This
gooey
and
oozing
chocolate
laden
cake,
tempts me,
beckons me,
it's weakening
my resolve
and as
the
icing
starts to drip
I feel
the
diet
end!

despair knocks the door
hallucinating the mind
tormenting the soul
darkness dispels light
sinister black shadows loom
unhinging spirit
an evil fiend tempts
execrable ideas
drowning to abysm

Heat grows
Frustration shows
Temper glows
Inhibitions go
Gun unlocks
Trigger cocks
Legislative gridlock
Future shock
God waits
Man hates
Tempts fate
Opens floodgates
Man sins
Murder grins
Jungle din
Death wins

PRECIPICE
Precipice tempts to trek
Particularly me,
Partaking as trekker.
Peak of hill with sharp edge.
Peculiar structure.
Piercing firmament.
Pretty feeling to climb.

Postponed, are trials of today
for time tempts us to rather snore.
Stagnant, are the bucket lists,
'til death knocks on heaven's door.

I just bear through and endure because after the dark storm that tempts me with false promises of sweet release, I realize that after the dark storm, the clouds part to reveal the sun or moon and shine light and hint on a beauty that says that it gets better.

What magic doth new love possess
That tempts the moon at night,
To warmly glow, and fully so,
With beams of velvet light?
That gives the heart the will to smile,
And the sparrow, feathered wings--
What magic doth new love possess,
To achieve such lovely things?

tender zephyr tempts
maple leaves stretch their arms wide ---
blossoms design beds
Twigs and branches chat
chirping birds search their mates
squirrel kits giggle
lightning stir the clouds
rainbows stroke the butterflies ---
drops moist the parched earth

Tantalizing
Truffles taunt temptation
Tangelo trifles flirt
Taffy tempts – sweet come-ons
Tiramisu temptress
Tapioca tart traps
Toffee lures – Turn! Take off!
Triumph ‘ore seduction

Gymnophoria
Undress her delicate features
With the eyes of lust that stare
The limerence takes hold
These desires turn and stoke our fear
Fires walking within
Sacrifice
All possessions sold
Pipe dreams
Shattered smoke
She tempts me yet again
Seduces logic
Dragged back into sin

Vice like spice
Seems so nice
Bad frames fake
As lies make
Touch tempts well
A deep tell
Love weeps late
At the gate
Fate moves tell
In stray dwell
Glimpse late ease
In void lease
Bad grooves burn
In odd turn

Tell me quick
what is it that catches your eye
looking down the newest list of poems Poems- New (All)?
Is it that title, the poet or the type of poetry
that reaches out and tempts you to click and read then write?
No matter
I'll still write and may even post
whatever comes to mind.

"Moonbound"
golden Moon tempts lovers to taste
fruits of sweet nectar 'neath glows baste
lips part to kiss ...
passion ignites flesh to make haste
inhaling fragrance without waste
ecstasy's bliss ...

Beware the old witch
as you go trick or treating
She can hypnotize
House on the corner
where the old witch lives, tempts some
to take one last dare
Then one by one they
ring the bell, but none return
to tell the tale
Just screams of horror
are what's heard, as cauldron boils
on Halloween night
