Temptation’s Kiss

Would be that the sweetest kiss was that of temptation,

not of death,

nor love,

but of the sly hint which allures you into both.

 

That once upon the midnight hour

you stole a look at the woman who caught your eye,

as she confiscated your breath,

only to return it upon tender embrace at the end of the night.

 

She had your soul, if but only for a moment.

 

Take confidence in knowing that you will have nights like these

and undoubtedly you have before

as has she,

but she is temptation herself,

and you know that her kiss

would be the hint which would lead you into

either love…

or death.

 

But for that kiss

the sweetest of all

placed by Lady Temptation…

 

O’ for that, you would risk them both.
