Temptation is life’s biggest tease
Causing these thoughts to come as they please
I made a vow to refrain from pleasure
But these little moments are hard to ignore
The thought of your body caressing mine
But all of this will happen with time
Time
A concept I’ve pondered
Giving myself time to wonder
Is it more than just the sex
A night of passion with an ex
A heated encounter when I’m drunk
Or is all that shit just mental junk
Thoughts
Of my life having more meaning
Cause for once I’m not being demeaning
Finally learning about myself
Cause to truly love another you have to love thyself
Celibate temptations I will not bow
Cause true happiness is all I want to know
wow! that is great! i write poetry too. but i get stuck sometimes. i need to learn how to write like that!
it’s really good. i like the rhythm and the idea. but i think if you will add a character you are referring to or yourself. just a couple of descriptive lines to your poem it will become really powerful
