Temptation

BY CAROLE NICHOLS

In your Garden of Eden,
I am the snake;
Tempting, teasing, biting,
Offering myself to you to take.


A nibble on the fruit of life,
And down you will fall;
I won't hesitate to jump right in
To take advantage of it all.


I know I should be sorry
For using you this way,
But heaven is where we always go,
And where I'd like to stay.


So many things are different,
Yet it still feels the same;
The raging,temptuous fires
Burning too sweet to tame.


Bodies fitting just so right,
Lips adding to the heat,
Matching heartbeats, such bliss,
A passion hard to defeat.


Yet how uncertain is tomorrow
And how you will feel then;
So I hold onto this moment
In case it never comes again.
