Temptation of soul,
Temptress painting darkness,
blocking the lightness.
Temptation of mind
Temptress whispering taunts,
of darkening thoughts.
Temptation of body,
Temptress erotically soothing,
enticing sensual satisfaction.
Temptation of heart,
Temptress maniacally stealing,
what is left of pure love.
Temptation of life,
Temptress tempting fate,
sliding downward spiril.
Temptation always present,
Temptress always testing,
Temptation never ending.
Author's Notes: Everyone has a temptress, it can be a weakness, a bad habit, a unfulfilled desire, but whatever that temptress is, always remember to let "the light shine in" and the temptation will diminish.......
"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil"
All of you ex-catholics remember this from a prayer we were raised on....There is something to be said of this statement.
I was remembering this prayer today and this poem emerged!
Peace, Love and Light,

well minus the cigarette I liked the picture of the woman with the legs and I am sure the body to go with it-temptation for me usually starts in my mind(ex-catholics?-yes I was one once too!!)
Amber, temptations can steal many moments and cause us to sit idle for hours, dreaming about the urge we so desire. You've brought this to life in this poem and made me want to go and eat a huge piece of pie...which is a no no for me. I enjoyed this a lot!
