Premium Member Temptations
It’s great to be good; just as we all should, if only we could. Temptations abound they lie all around and creep up on us and after, it’s thus; we regret and cuss. We could close our eyes as a compromise, but tempters are wise, and get in our head; so easy mislead at night in our bed; when all is so dark and life is too stark....

Takotsubo Cardio
Takotsubo My grief would overtake me. There was nothing that could shake me. I could not get out of bed. I had nothing but bedhead. Hygiene was lacking, and I was constantly snaking. I could not move at times, maybe as far as the floor and maybe as far as my door. I was dead inside, and I wanted...

Temptations Of the Flesh
Even with The cross Around his neck And the childhood Anxiety over An imaginary man’s judgement His thoughts Were more iniquitous Than my own He would delineate the way Shower droplets Languidly glide down my skin Leaving behind A flushed path On my pallid complexion That no longer Wears the perpetual damage Of past men’s temper...

Temptations of the past
The silence is deafening, but I know you're still here. I look within and see your presence A beautiful spirit with lovely eyes. I look around me, and I think I have become a menace. Stuck ruminating on memories of the past. Stuck in conversation, forgetting why we can not last. My mind runs deep, but my heart shines bright Waiting...

Soul Control
Soul Control In the misty corridors of the soul, I fight to maintain control. If the truth be told in whole, That is truly my goal. Sometimes it takes it toll, As Satan does his patrol. I can’t get out of this hole, It’s taking its toll. To knock me off my game is his goal, His tricks and temptations are ten fold. Behold, I will...

Premium Member Life On the River
A balance in life can solve the riddle. To find the balance, start in the middle. Distractions from the banks may lead us wrong. Go with the flow where the current is strong. The banks are sirens calling to our ears, offering us pleasures relieving fears. The emotion of love, the fear of pain, tossing and turning, driving us insane. Too much...

Premium Member Say, Satan
Forty days and forty nights without a bite to eat! And then this dude comes strolling by with offers pretty sweet. I guess he thinks it’s going to work Like earworms in my head. I’m talking with my Father here; He’s planting thoughts of bread. Instead He’s planting thoughts of bread. Say, Satan, for a guy so smart, You say things pretty odd! The temporal does not...

Led by the Spirit in the wilderness, Resisting Satan’s barbs for forty days, His hunger first, the devil’s sought success, “The Son of God could make these stones obey.” Said Jesus, “Man lives not by bread alone.” The tempter flashed the world before his gaze; “Just bow to me to make all this your own.” Said Jesus, “God alone, we serve and...
