Falling Into The Abyss Of Temptation Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Wanting to live life of purity
then came this temptress, my heart and mind was seduced.
Charming, beautiful, pretty
Lured to an appealing carnality
even Solomon’s wisdom was trapped into its snare

Clothe in disguise as a honey in the eyes
a poison glossed as fine tasting wine
its effect not immediate
but its rusting the soul
like an iron rusting, slowly eaten by an unseen oxygen

temptation, sweet to the carnal appetite
enjoyable in the bed,
gratifying in the dark and in the secret
have tasted the sweetness of this impure honey
already cracked the honeycomb

oh four winds
help me be free from this bondage
let the seven seas wash my soul again
and cleanse the infirmities of this sin

I want to break from the bondage
and be free from its chain
but I lack the courage as it gives me an instant pleasure
Brings my feeling to the top though after it
I know it will dump me in the vale of desolation
