An original piece of poetry.  It’s not 100%, but then nothing I write ever seems to be…
Inspiration for this piece: the current wip and my attempt to capture the sting only true temptation can bring; the type of flame you want to rush head first into and relish the heat as you burn.

Enjoy.

Temptation

When I’m near you my body reacts, another part of my brain takes over
The baser part, intent only on satisfying primal needs

All rational thoughts out the window
Right… wrong
Good… bad
Should… could

The only quandary of relevance right now is
Satisfaction gained? or Satisfaction denied?

Even here where distractions are plenty and obligations abound
The crowd fades to black the moment you touch me
You pull me close.  Though I shouldn’t, I willingly go

I feel you, you feel me?

Your arms around my waist
Your hands at by back
Your lips on my neck
Your chest against mine
YOU against me…

Again I wonder, do you feel me like I feel you?

The tempo changes, the mood grows thick
Can I get any closer? I wonder…
Can you hold me any tighter? I wish…

All I want is what’s right in front of me
All I want is you

You face says what your mouth won’t
We’re both pondering the same unspoken question
Your lips on mine is the crossing of the  line
White or black ?
Will I have the strength the stay within the grey?

Do you feel that too?
That slow spark that sizzled a path from the spot you touched
To one you want to
Like oxygen to a fire

Control slips when you’re near
Control doesn’t exisit when you’re here
My one tempation

Should I yield?
