The nighttime winds of discontent <br />Give temptation an alluring hue, <br />Gilded words softly caress my ear, <br />But I can love no one but you <br /> <br />Sweet intimations tease my heart, <br />Drenching my thoughts like morning's dew, <br />Romantic invitations entice, <br />I turn away..... for love of you <br /> <br />Dark and lonely hours parch my heart, <br />Then a fountain comes into view, <br />How furtively I could quench my thirst, <br />But I'll drink from no one but you <br /> <br />Taunting dreams interrupt my sleep, <br />Peace and calm are long overdue, <br />The fire burns with a steady flame, <br />But the fire burns only for you <br /> <br />Temptation can emit sweet perfume, <br />What is a confused heart to do? <br />Then my angels take charge over me.... <br />They'll let me love no one but you <br /> <br />Echoes of temptation linger, <br />But my conscience is free of rue, <br />The door to my heart will remain locked <br />And will open only for you<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/temptation-112/
