Temptation

Temptation to endure, Nemesis that does lure, Feels so good, it’s impure. Misleading adventure I must resist for sure. Resist so hard, a cure! Temptation’s forbidding Mysterious formless thing, So intent on keeping Me off from right doing. Its influence drawing Me to deadly sinning. Temptation’s force, so thick, A force that moves so quick, Full of alluring tricks; Its offers seem so sleek. It tries to get me weak, My downfall, it tends to seek. Temptation, hard to beat, In a battle, a cheat Trying to fool me with treat In form of a fierce heat, A heat so hot to defeat; Must overcome its sleet. Temptation, the smooth creep That traps with tightened grip, To pull me in so deep Into a sensual trip To its lair that does clip With fantasies it flips. Temptation at me, glances. Its power to enhance To put me in a trance To get me off balance Have to maintain my stance To its tune, I’ll not dance. Temptation, go away Can’t have you spoil my day, On me, you tried to prey, Won’t let myself get stray, For there’s no game you play That will divert my way.
