Temptation

A poem about the pull of the wrong choice

Temptation is a spider on my skin
tip-toeing fascination down my spine
igniting yearning's unfamiliar flame
erasing the familiar borderline

Demons whisper yes from on my shoulder
No, another shakes me from the pull
a web of silken fancy provocation
spins enticement as a web upon the wall

Beguiling is its promise in the evening
enticing is the danger in the choice,
a coded language oddly still familiar
speaks of pleasure in a cryptic tempting voice.

Demons whisper life is only once lived
Angels likewise whisper live it right
but temptation is a spider on my skin
that walks upon an empty, lonely night.

'ANGELS' LIKEWISE WHISPER LIVE IT RIGHT'...THIS LINE REMINDS ME THAT GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES A WAY OF ESCAPE WHEN WE ARE TEMPTED. WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING, LOVE AND BLESSINGS.

It's the devil's playground and he knows how to entice the senses.
Well done.
