[Soaring Feather]

Temptations' Wait

In weakest moments
sighs excite and stir
the silence with
wonderment of when
we can be close
to whisper to one another

and breath short intakes
near your face not touching

Nervous hands moving
over hair sweet smelling
soft silky expensive
and rare as the moments
of breathing as one in silence

[January24th]

temptation did not wait for me
but i pursued it vigorously
i stalked and pleaded
begged and cried
chased until tempation died

poor temptation had no chance
to tempt one headed for romance
the pitfalls loomed
and wagers placed
but all my cards had just one face

and so I overcame my foe
temptation had to nowhere to go
since I determined
to lose all ground
Temptation now could not to be found

One breath, one dance, one awkward smile
temptation sadly watched a while
saw the redundancy
of his job description
and left me alone with my ambition
