Temptation

** rough copy

I feel like a ghost caught between life and death
As I sit here watching the world go by
I tried not to think of my desire and misery
My body burns yet I feel shivery

Your memory haunts me every day
I wish to feel your touch on my skin
I saw but a glimpse of your raw beauty
Yet the fire I now feel consumes me

Perhaps all was a lie
Fooled by yet another corpse
For you, I lowered my walls of steel
I allowed you a glimpse of my light and demons
You offered me fear and conventionalities
Selling my secrets to the highest bidder
It matters not, for what I gave was real

I remember the shivers all over my body
The bittersweet tingling sensation
Each time before I addressed you

Why does the thought of you consume me so?
What is this witchcraft you have used on me?
Is there something the Gods want me to see?
Or are you but the devil's work
Superficiality, temptation and nothing more

I am proud of my creed
Yet with you all I wan to do is sin
I worked hard to keep the emotions at bay
Yet I remain caught in your web

Every time I swear to forget you
You haunt me in my sleep
The fates whisper your name to me
Hear my calling...
Come to me

In the ethereal world I can taste you
There your eyes reveal their vulnerability
Your lips confess your desires 
As you wrap me in your arms

There we can talk for hours
Exploring our minds before we do our bodies
As the time approaches I sense your eagerness
Your breath tremulous as I undress for you
You are like a child on Christmas eve
Nervous and excited about his new gift

Here I can kiss you with fervor
Here your hands are free to explore my hills
As my tongue dances with yours
My hands explore your tower
I can feel the juices dripping in anticipation
We have come this far...
There is no more hesitation

As we are consumed by overwhelming desire
You seek to control every part of me
Yet it is who dominates your body

There is no room for falsities
Only the rawness of our spirits 
And the nakedness of our bodies

Rocking my hips the way waves do
I ride you until you forget your name
Blissfully surrendering to our cravings
Our energies now mixed
I live in you as you do in me

Within my soul you see your reflection 
I know you well and that scares you
From you there is nothing I can hide
To you is where I want to ran
Twin souls in a different plane...
Twin souls at a different time...
