Premium Member A Tempting Fate
(Inspired by the humorous short story, "Angel Of The Odd", by Edgar Allan Poe.)



This young man had just been visiting his mother,
His wife disapproved of spending his time with another,
He grabbed his coat and hat, but not an umbrella,
For, he was quite an unwise and...

Premium Member With Her Tempting Pose
Her tempting pout bounces
from night's artwork like a slow fire that churns 
a raw desire in need to be quenched ...
and it is so mysteriously enchanting: to be
entrapped by that feminine aura 
that simply blazes on a spotlight of lure--
red-tossed hair flitting along
tangy whiffs of...

Tempting Pot of Desire
Red lips, the perfect simmer in her hips, 
A pot of desire seasoned just right,
the malt vinegar to my fish and chips.
I had Coke at home, I wanted a Sprite.

I lifted the lid, stuck one finger in
the sizzling gooey layers steaming
with sticky sin, but what...

Tempting Tart
Simply delightful
Just like trifle
Sticky Toffee
Or even banoffee
New York baked
Yummy carrot cake

But you can't beat the sugary taste
That sticks to your lips and clings to your waist,
Of the lushness of strawberry tart
Tingling your tongue and melting your heart
Crumbling of pastry, licking of cream
Juicy bite of strawberry,...

Tempting Voices of the Dark
You must not resist your own destiny
leave behind the light if you want to see
where you come from, what you will be
Darkness of your heart protects from the light
the essence of you--
your identity.
 
Don’t you fear the night blinded by the light
Lie and close your...

Premium Member Tempting Tower
From the pulled-sugar tux
To the pressed-sugar gown,
The sweet candy couple
Will paint the cake town!

From their sugary heads
To their saccharine shoes,
They're the topmost of all
To spread the good news.

They've layers of goodness
Stacked under their feet,
First, a moistened red velvet
Of chocolatey sweet ...

Below that, two inches
Of soft...

Tempting Fate
I used to walk carefree around this world, 
My shoulders light and free of any chips
Not thinking fate would ever come unfurled
By nonsense escaping naïve lips

I thought Murphy ’s Law was ludacris
Karma for a mind that over thinks
Superstition existed to dismiss
All part of fate’s anxiety...

grains of dew
forming a softening glaze
falling tediously
from your hairline
freshly stocked 
unabashed stare of longing...

Tempting Rain
The heavens wore gray 
a blanket of clouds hovered 
ensuing a roiling interplay 
of sun and impending shower
wrestling for control of the sky.

I was feeling gleefully energized
brazen enough to dare the rain to fall,
command the clouds to move away,
anything more promising I left
on the lap...

No Tempting, Blue Roses
Is there such a flower as a despised blue rose...
the one I desperately chose
to sign end under a sad story,
which had neither passion or glory?


With tears so rageful, she thought it was the final goodbye;
why I didn't choose a more charming rose with a different...

Shy Sun Amidst the Tempting Clouds
Earth's rotation slow,
Sun dancing upon fallen snow.
Through the winter so long,
Hidden among the clouds, strong.
Please come out soon,
You're not the moon.

Hidden behind gray stretched sky,
Why oh why! do you have to be so shy!
You've hidden you shining face,
Out in the open is your place.
Gloom you...

Tempting Fate Over Coffee
I buy my coffee and read a while
Get a refill
And then write a bit

But then there are mornings
In which I cast custom
To the winds

Let fate know
I give not
A whit

So instead I buy my coffee and write 
Get a refill
And then read for a bit

A daring...

Premium Member I Shall Not Be Complete Nor Will I Be Content
I shall not be complete, nor will I become content.
I will only be complete at the end of my life, 
Which had been given to me to live along with the strife.

Standing before and being with God to account for all of my sins.

Never shall...
