Temptation Poems - Poems about Temptation

Radio
I hear him through the speakers. He wanders in my mind. What have I done? I have one broken chance left. God, help me Because I can’t see myself anymore. A subtle whisper, But not a zephyr. Crackle, crackle. “She is watching you.” “You know she is using you.” “Strike back.” He decodes my reality. The channels crack with vibrant energy. “Nobody can hear us.” What do you want from...

Temptation
Temptation Foundation. In such a fluid interconnected world, are long-term relationships dwindling in numbers? Is temptation saturating society, and creating an influx of such communications, subtly asking for a second chance? The Email to Monique Whenever I think of you, I always feel a familiar calling A soft echo which rhythmically whispers before morning I can still feel you And it carries...

The Cruelty Of Wealth
Wealth, a siren's charm, alluring and bright A pillow's softness, a thimble's gentle might It provides for earthly needs, a feast to behold Yet, in its depths, a darkness unfolds Oh, wealth! Where is thy dominion? Poverty's cold grasp awaits, a dismal throne A worm on a hook, luring the unsuspecting prey Into a realm of excess, where virtues fade away With dastardly...

Premium Member For the Life of Me
I swore I'd turn and back away, Resist the call, from the lurking flay. For the life of me, I could not allay the stay! Before me lay a morsel, a mere tit bit. A taste I took, another, another, but could not scoff remit, For the life of me, I could not help it! I told myself to turn away,...

Constructor of My Own Chaos
My fire snorted and all is still, Chaos does come; lull in the hills. My mother weeps & daddy cries, Not peace nor love seen in the skies. Looking on stirred, with jaws agape, As blood does stain my flowing cape. A laugh echoes around & around, A serpent’s grin, with malice crowned. ‘Come! There is place for us...

Mangoes, the first of the season, sit plump and shameless in trays, their smooth skin tempting a passing hand to reach down and touch them, one cut open sends the tongue into a spasm. The market is a feast for the senses. You need to walk slow and take it in, catch the smell coming ripe from the cheese, golden blocks...

Premium Member Temptation, The Seed Of Sin
Temptation, The Seed Of Sin Miracle Man 9/5/2024 At life’s every turn there’s enticement to face, and when we overcome its only by God’s grace. If we yield to temptation it becomes a sin, And Satan’s always there giving us his spin. To hydrate the seeds in our minds that we ban, Satan always shows up with his watering can. 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV 13...

The Cave of Temptation
I stood in front of the cave of Temptation and accepted the invitation It was not love at first sight but curiousity in the dead of night All I remember is that I was eager to surrender and I must admit that it only took half a second to submit That once-only fling has made me commit to one thing: I...
