Sweet Temptation (a poem by debileah aka deborah leah krempa)

 

There are some women that will lead a man

Into sweet temptation

With just the batting of an eye

I never was that kind

 

Just a simple country girl

That’s all I’ll ever be

So babe, if a high society lady

Is what you’re searching for, it’s not me

 

So many rags to riches stories

I grew up on hand me downs

I still  fall to tears when I watch “Old Yeller”

Sad movies always make me cry

 

My daddy fought in World War II

While mama danced and sang on stage

In a burlesque café

She let go of the neon lights, and fame

 

When she took my daddy’s name

Took to cooking up homemade apple pies

While bringing up her babies

Singing to them Irish lullabies

 

There are some women that will lead a man

Into sweet temptation

Without a moments hesitation

She steps on toes with her high heel stilettos

 

She doesn’t’ mind tarnishing the shine

Of the golden band

You wear so nonchalantly on your left hand

The proof that you are my man

 

Until death us do part, my love

Don’t tread those uncharted waters

Leaving me broken hearted

Crying on my knees if you should ever leave

 

There are some women that will lead a man

Into sweet temptation

With the just the batting of an eye

I never was that kind

What a wondrously rich glimpse into a sweet, beautiful life. A love that is pure and lasting... how the world needs that now...

[Art Sun]

nice work on this poem...truth is in the respect and love one has for each other,

[Ladysue]

This reads like a song with wonderful flow and sentiments. I like the repeating message within. This is contentment with oneself that comes from accepting who they are and knows what they want, don't want and are looking for...lovely work...
