Not Worth It

Reflection lights the day

Deception veils the way

Exception tempts astray

Perception bends the play

Reception fades to grey

Piece of Cake

All the French
I can take -
piece of cake.

A baguette
or croissants?
Paris tempts.

Cream inside;
lick my lips.
Morrow’s trip.

Satiated In Morning Sun

. 
                   A fushia in bloom
                          tempts a thirsty visitor
                                I sip my coffee

Destiny Oddquain

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

the adorable designer

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

A Quartered Moon

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.

Dancing with the Devil aka The Universal Solvent

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.

Mystic

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

In Her Joy

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.

The Lure of Forbidden

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..

Apple


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.

Temptation

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!

Dark Night of the Soul

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

Vicious Cycle

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


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

Sin of Sloth

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

Light

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

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?

nature communion

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

Truffles taunt temptation
Tangelo trifles flirt  
Taffy tempts – sweet come-ons

Toffee lures – Turn!  Take off!
Triumph ‘ore seduction

Gymnophoria

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

Spice

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

None Return

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
