Temptation
Seductively calls my name
As the twilight calmly creeps forward
And envelopes me in deepening darkness.
Will I be strong
Or will I break,
Carelessly but successfully escaping
Willpower's too gentle grasp?

I like the way you used the apple/temptation connection ... very nice!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's nice when willpower is gentle.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Nicely done...
ReplyDeleteYes I've been there: breaking 'Willpower's too gentle grasp' 'Hold on tightly - let go lightly' is one of my oft repeated phrases - it applies well here. You captured it nicely.
ReplyDeleteBoy- these are words of truth! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteWillpower and I have the same strength...we're both lousy at it! I like this. Sweet and succinct!
ReplyDeleteI liked this a lot. It's OK if you give into temptation with the apple. It's the chocolate caramel cheesecake you have to fight off. Its lure can be very seductive indeed.
ReplyDeleteI was just about the say something very close to Patti! However, there are plenty of temptations I live with and there are times I let go. Something about 'forbidden fruit!'
ReplyDeleteLove this poem, I am going to have to direct my clients to it as I know it will speak to them!
