"Tempted"

 Ignition off, Road King thunder sublime
Eleven hundred miles carved away, in May
Another 'Iron Butt' ride recorded in time
Eighteen hours in the saddle, a long, terrific day
3:22 AM, exhausted yet energized, words emerging, a rhyme

Standing, stretching, pen and paper in hand
Scribbling quickly, details pounded in ink
Rhythmic memories, a newly formed strand
Thoughts rumble, combustion on the brink
Words fire onto the page faster than the Hog covers land

A short walk to the destination, cabin by the lake
Water surface like glass, reflecting the full Moon
A solitary rowboat silhouetted, anchored, no wake
Standing on the porch, entering soon
One last look around, additional notes to take

A key from his pocket slips quietly into the lock
Pushing the door open, her sweet aroma fills the air
Scent of a sugar cookie, the lotion he loves to mock
Often teasing her, 'You smell like dessert, one I enjoy bare'
3:41 AM, current needs, undress, shower, tick-tock

Road grime removed, lights off, ready for sleep
He enters the master, slips softly into bed, she doesn't stir
Raising the sheet, admiring her beauty, just a peep
Moonlight providing the perfect light, adoring her
'Luckiest man alive' he whispers, wanting to leap

Resting on the crisp cotton pillow, reminiscing as he lay
Many miles traveled on two wheels, wind in his face
Scenery, splendor, mountains, lakes, pleasure on display
Time stops for no man, he takes time to enjoy each place
Viewing, memorizing, cherishing, sharing, every day

Focus returning to the one, the friend by his side
Appreciating her class, character and style
Tempted to wake her, ravish her, another memorable ride
Surprise her, satisfy her, she could sleep with a smile
Want must wait, allowing her to rest, in her dreams he will reside
