Tempter Poems | Examples


The Tempter

(A seductive voice, smiles as it looks over New York. While the sun rises)

So my old record plays

As the early morning mists slowly 
Drift in 

And herald the new dawn of those beguiled by sin

The politicians 
Government's 

People
Lovers and haters

Oh, how the air is rich
With such irreducible tension

As they all wander around with delicious apprehension 

Gossipping 
Feeling self important and all the while never knowing 

They've been all bewitched

Foundation.

With global wars, politics and tensions worldwide, on many levels.

Has the power of influence shifted slightly to the other side, in the spiritual game of freewill 

Between two immortal powers?

Can you feel the world slowly getting darker?

Tempter

Oh ye voice of woe
Why do my ears hasten to hear thee
Is there no other
Truly silence is better
Then only the sound of my heart is heard
Fear comes quickly
For if perchance it should be silent  too
Then it would be my death I hear
Truly my thoughts are empty
I then hear me crying woe where are you
For silence is a crypt
Oh voice of temptation, tempt me
