Over the last couple of months I have been exploring Friendship, Intimacy and of course love. Poems on Friendship, Intimacy and Lust have demanded that I write them and today’s poem has been insistent to be written too. Thinking about emotions and feelings has led me to realize that not all relationships are healthy! So, I have written a poem I believe expresses in part, the dark side of relationship…
Temptation
Temptation whispering
Clouding the mind
Crawling inside her
Desperate need
Craving release
Exacting its price
Sleepless night
Thoughts won’t cease
“Give in”, they whisper
Early morning light
Illuminating
Untamed yearnings
Selfish desire
Calling his name
Branding anxious flesh
Heart of stone
Conscience bleeding
Dead to truth
Impossible to deny
Giving into temptation
Lost in betrayal!
