Temptation
Oh the taste of sweet temptation,
Revitalizes dormant imagination.
So delicious and readily handy,
Shall I partake of forbidden candy?
Spontaneity is an understated treasure,
It’s delightful value hard to measure.
Escape from this rut would be nice,
Liven up my boring life with spice.
Opportunity has flung wide an open door,
I must proceed through to discover more.
By his first glance I was at once captivated,
Then with conversation became fascinated.
A semblance of intelligence surrounds him,
My chance to win his affections probably slim.
Instant attraction towards him I shall not deny,
Why must I invariably be so outwardly shy?
Youthful rapture his fare face ignites,
Curiosity his appealing voice excites.
He regards me with gentility and respect,
Yet a hint of desire do I slightly detect?
More time with him is what I now crave,
To fulfill this wish I need to be brave.
My next move I carefully contemplate,
Do I dare tempt the unfeeling hand of fate?
May I earn his attentions? This I must know,
If I fail to try I must live with nagging woe.
How could a brief encounter mean so much,
A stranger’s actions my life inexplicably touch?
My passions have been awakened and tantalized,
I wonder if his enticing effect on me he realized?
Questions abound flood my mind and hotly burn,
This enchanted heart for answers begins to yearn.
Plunge forth seized not by pangs of hesitation,
For once let me be ruled by absolute elation!
