tempted again. aug. 16, 2024

  

even all these years later

 the temptation remains

 how to control it

to keep from doing something

 I know I'll regret

 holding back

 keeping myself

from tasting the forbidden fruit

or the illusion of it

drawn in by what I think is

for lack of a written invitation

we always defeat ourselves

pushing into something

because we want it

even when there's no proof it exists

I live my life as a phantom

images of my desire broadcast

on the horizon like a mirage

I am always thirsty

 especially for what I know

I should not have

 resisting the ever

 self imposed temptation
