I call it the “snare of the fowler”- A dead fall whatever it’s called. Baited by our own temptations- Unwary, we’re easy enthralled. Call it a madness, or magic- We’re each victims to our desire. Results all too often are tragic- We’re drawn like a fool to the fire. The equation is painfully simple- Requiring one woman, one man... The look in the eyes is the trigger, Give’s lie to the ring on the hand. Each woman at heart is a wanton- Each man in his heart is a knave... The fire in their heart burning hotly, Illicit the pleasures they crave. And yet we are bound by our customs Till death do we part, by a band- Forget what you see in the eyes, friend- But take a close look at the hand. |

A great point hun, many people give in to temptation, I'm glad to see that you're not so easily swayed! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Another great poem...Mine fail in comparisson to yours, but that is ok because I do so enjoy yours! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |
