Temptation
Temptation strikes my stoicism
Taking the form of a bud
Yes, the little darling lets me sniff her cannabis
When, quite frankly, I'd rather get a whiff of her
But I suffer one of those look but don't touch scenarios
Near torture, yes, but I endure the pain
Our fragile friendship's worth the restraint
So I maintain my monkish silence
My full lotus
Grant me serenity
But that little minx...

Thank you, Lady Crim. I'm glad we're on the same page. You're an enchanting and very sensual poet. I always feel the heat of your flame.

Sir Crow,
Pain and sadness behind these lines, reading them make me feel slightly off centre. Beautifully written raw ink.
Maybe if u get time pm me. 😊

Lady Muse,
There is some pain and sadness, but it could be worse. I can still fantasize.

AHhhh...Mo Chara...The wretched rawness of restraint--so difficult, at times, to maintain! (sigh)
The subtle sensuality of this piece...stimulates the senses...inspires the imagination!
A pleasure to read!

Thank you, Enchantress. Restraint. Kind of like the lies that bind, or the silence that must be maintained for decorum. Or desire that must be stifled due to social norms, some of which may have some validity while others are puritanism. I am not a pervert, and will ravish anyone who claims otherwise!

Thank you, Zazzles. I wish I could back up that come hither with something a little more substantial. Anyway, I like you too and am going to take another look at your work.

You're right. Restraint is sometimes necessary. We'd all be in trouble if we just unleashed our ids without thought for consequences.

True, but weed can have aphrodisiac side effects for me, which can present a problem. Life is complicated.

Awe Crow......such a sweet flower to smell......sadness with its fragrance......stay hopeful......many things come from friendships......at times a friendship is closer than a luver......xo :)

I agree. Friendship is the basis of every kind of solid relationship, wherever it might lead. Still, I like the idea of "friends with benefits." Might not be as easy as it sounds.
