"The fruit of Temptation"

Looking from a distance,
hesitant to act upon,
an instant reaction.
You know you should,
but you do not know,
how this story unfolds.
You seek wisdom and answers,
from the magic man.
No telling says the crystalball.
So the fruit of temptation,
blows in the breeze.
It's within your grasp,
will you have a taste?
You give in,
there was no choice.
I always knew temptation would win,
as you take a bite.
One leads to two,
then to three.
What an incredible fruit,
you have picked from the tree.

I'm new to this place and what a place it is.

Welcome John! Glad you've joined us here. I thought this poem was good...it's obviously the hardest thing to do, resist temptation, and you've summed it up well. Nice work.

You cling to your ways and leave mine to me.

Temptation, no problem. Giving in...now that's what I do best.

Well done John.
