Temptation
I don't know anything about you yet
Who are you, and for whom
You give your tender smiles
But what force beckons me to you
Like a black hole,
your extreme gravity pulls me in
You know that very well
Taking steps to the edge,
I'm falling for you
Even though it is obvious to me
that you are trouble
The sign says to stay back 6 feet
I am trying to keep balance,
from losing control
But it is impossible to be careful
I am to close to the edge
Losing...
I'm flying to you like a butterfly
attracted to the light
There is no ban for me
I'm ready to take risks, which means
I need to stop this now
And that's why it's time for you and me
to designate roles
Though it's clear to me that you are
trouble, any closer to the edge and
it is impossible not to fall
I try to keep a distance but you open
your heart to me
Look me in the eyes,
I am afraid because of what I want
Because we cannot do that
And it's clear to me that you are
so dangerous
So I need to be very careful
Who are you, and for whom
You give your tender smiles
But what force beckons me to you
Like a black hole,
your extreme gravity pulls me in
You know that very well
Taking steps to the edge,
I'm falling for you
Even though it is obvious to me
that you are trouble
The sign says to stay back 6 feet
I am trying to keep balance,
from losing control
But it is impossible to be careful
I am to close to the edge
Losing...
I'm flying to you like a butterfly
attracted to the light
There is no ban for me
I'm ready to take risks, which means
I need to stop this now
And that's why it's time for you and me
to designate roles
Though it's clear to me that you are
trouble, any closer to the edge and
it is impossible not to fall
I try to keep a distance but you open
your heart to me
Look me in the eyes,
I am afraid because of what I want
Because we cannot do that
And it's clear to me that you are
so dangerous
So I need to be very careful

She says as she sets fire to the bridge she's crossing 😎
A nice play on human nature. We want to be free as butterflies but we're drawn like moths to the flame.

lol, makes me wonder which side I am on when it burns. We are always being drawn to the flame so I am probably still on the bridge when it burns, problem solved. 💖

Bravissima, BD❣❣I agree with I_IS_ME that many if not all of us are beset by intoxicating temptation that at times makes us imagine disrupting our lives for love, lust, desire all those magnetic terms. 😍

Temptation surrounds us at all times. Sometimes the pull is magnetic and it can be disruptive like you said. And don't forget passion. ;) "with the temptation also make a way to escape" ❤️

Oh, my dear BD passion is always at the forefront of my little libidinous brain❣❣ I'll always make sure there's a backdoor 😏🐻

Wow. I love the potency of this write, the heat in it's voice. Our next Strong Language episode we're recording soon is about passion. We've already asked someone, but if they decline, I'd like you to read this piece with us, if you'd be willing.

Tempetation is very hot as forbidden love, just be careful and get to know the person better. Keep on writing.

Temptation is exciting but it certainly is possible to get burned. Thanks for the comment Phantom. I will try to keep writing.

When words excite we will follow them looking for them to entice euphoric endings

Oh definitely my dear Tim! I love it when words excite and of course euphoric endings... In fact, although I don't normally put links in a comment; this one just fits too well to your comment so here it is ...
