Temptation

Attempting to seal
vision
from devious
temptation.
The bars of security
easily succumb
by soft words.
Devotional sentence
of love
is probation
of faithfulness.

Rivers flow directional
destination
always focused.
Living within
objectives view.
Baited they nibble
slyly,
taste of worm
risks their survival
as mans elation
challenges.

Temptation is a hard thing to resist, although you may know how bad it is for you. You describe it well.
