I Am...

I Am...

A Poem by Thomas Philmore Jackson

 

Your temptation...
The yes that was in your heart, when no is what you spoke.
The lips that kiss you and take your breath away...
The man you dream of when you are alone in your bed.
The forbidden which you desire and the desire of that which is forbidden...
The pounding of your heart and the swelling of your breast...
The hand that caresses you gently and the shiver that it sends down your spine...
He who peers deep into your eyes, to see the woman you really are, when no other man would take the time.
He who listens when you say you need someone to talk to, offering you no advice unless that is what you want.

The arms that hold you afterwards promising to keep you safe...
I will be all you wish and shall grant you all you deserve.

I am your temptation, and I shall not be denied.

It sounds as though she is either afraid Or has already found her temptation just as you seem to have found you'res. Although they may not be of one mind or heart. This is a well written piece and full of hope that one dream will fulfill both of you. Nicely Done.

Simple and yet temptation is so complex. I was imaging being the woman this was about and reading it for the first time. I do not think I would be able to resist.
