let temptation
lead you to the hitching post
dismount
follow it to shabbytown
give in to it
sidle up to temptation
give it a wet lick across the darkness
don't sweat the small stuff
five hundred years from now
nobody'll care
hell . . .
five minutes from now nobody'll give . . .
you know
so in your midnight hour
grab yourself and wave it around
don't bother making sense of it all
Alfie . . .
your old wounds are . . . old
make some new ones why'don't'ya
new desires
conquests are there for the taking
(or is that for the asking?)
they are there
in the darkest of the dark
waiting . . .
for you to claim them

Yep...I had an ice cream sandwich last night...it was mint chocolate and I am so ashamed of myself ha...but I gave into temptation...actually I had bought them for my grandsons but we have more and if they dont get here quick they might be all gone.They are coming for Easter vacation.

Enjoyed your words as always Jerry...you always give me a little chuckle...not all the time but most of the time ha.

That's funny about the ice cream. Temptation is fun most of the time, huh? My favorite ice cream is Breyers Reese's Peanut Butter . . . I'm happy you find a chuckle or two in some of my poetry.

Hmm all this talk of ice cream is making me want to cave.  I promised my boyfriend to be good and lay off the bad sugar.  Anyways, all ice cream aside, I enjoyed reading your poem Good stuff!

Appreciate seeing you here, Ceinwyn, and thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my poetry. Yeah, we did get a bit carried away with the ice cream, eh? Now, if you promised your boyfriend, a promise is a promise. then again, I've heard promises are made to be broken. Hah.Hah
