Temptation

Like Adam in the Eden Garden I am drawn to temptation,

My fruit turning sour I lust for something sweeter,

Hypnotised by the serpents kiss,

I am a slave to temptation and sin.

Innocent smiles and angelic voices beckon me,

Unaware to fall under their spell,

Ensnared and helpless,

Temptation grasps me with an iron grip,

Unable to pull away.

I am the sinner,

Shattered is my soul I am victim,

To the sirens song,

Under the malicious spell of temptation,

I am helpless to sin.

I agree with the strong statements in the poem. Hard not to sin. Easy to fall to desires of the world.
"Temptation grasps me with an iron grip,
Unable to pull away."

"Wow" It's like a lovely confession. Excellent reference to the bible, metaphors and such that grasp the title and feel of 'Temptation'.
