Temptation

The nighttime winds of discontent Give temptation an alluring hue, Gilded words softly caress my ear, But I can love no one but you Sweet intimations tease my heart, Drenching my thoughts like morning's dew, Romantic invitations entice, I turn away..... for love of you Dark and lonely hours parch my heart, Then a fountain comes into view, How furtively I could quench my thirst, But I'll drink from no one but you Taunting dreams interrupt my sleep, Peace and calm are long overdue, The fire burns with a steady flame, But the fire burns only for you Temptation can emit sweet perfume, What is a confused heart to do? Then my angels take charge over me.... They'll let me love no one but you Echoes of temptation linger, But my conscience is free of rue, The door to my heart will remain locked And will open only for you
