Temptation urged me closer,
his hips swaying smoothly
with each undulating beat.
Upon his lips my eyes fixated,
like a string to a red balloon.
My body filled with heat;
I couldn't pull away.
He did not see me
through the screaming crowd.
Moving free ~
music loud
lost under his spell.
Sweat glistened over his body ...
like dew drops shimmering
on soft, glimmering rose petals;
I could smell sweetness.
Our eyes met ~ as tho' we were one,
fell into a trance, yet;
sultry rhythms took over ...
to his song, I began to dance along.
Without warning, the music stopped!
Off the stage my lover leapt,
kissed me tenderly, as
"temptation" swept
us away....!
