Temptation, the evilness of the female anatomy;
Curiosity, the desire to fall head over heels,
The challenge to see how far we can go.
The fruit of love, the giver of birth;
Planting the seedsfor carnation,
Giving the spirit of light to the right to life.
The quest for freedom, an endless journey,
Yet we are trapped in our own doing.
As the rainbow rests over the immeasurable distance,
So too the destiny of one, resting just over the horizon.
Mindlessly, aimlessly trying to reach our goal,
Always looking to strive for better, for more;
Never content with the level of arrogance,
Our ignorance is our murderer.
Temptation, the apple that once fell from the tree,
Falls no more.
The tree is alone, no one is there,
No need to fall to tempt.
The leaves wilt, crumble and depart the tree,
Like a couple breaking up and shattering the hearts,
That once was shared, occupied and loved by the two.
The tree loses its bark, dieing from lesions,
Dieing from loneliness, broken heartedness;
Dieing for love, dieing without love.
Temptation, the ability for one to never be satisfied,
Polygamy or monogamy
Going against nature or with nature.
If we are a part of nature,
Then how we have evolved must be right.
Nature makes everything happen for a reason;
From Neanderthal hunters to civilised Cro-Magnons.
Yet, I don’t see my world as a civilized one,
And temptation ruins the best of me.
Temptation is killing me…
I possess a mind full of sorrow,
An empty heart and a body that is hollow.
Regardless of how many warning signs we get,
We are still blinded from the consequences of temptation.
It feels too late, I feel I can’t survive without her,
My heart sinks every time I think about it.
The ultimate price has been paid,
Fucking temptation got the better of me!
The past is too disturbing and cannot be changed,
I can’t lose her, I won’t lose her.
I don’t want to carry on without her,
The true power of the human spirit is yet to aid me.
I have done wrong, I have learned.
I have prayed, I have changed.
It’s not too late…it’s never too late;
Love Will Prevail!
