#temptation poems on Hello Poetry

Nana Yaw Ofori May 2019

the preacher's wife
being tempted by a new dress she was trying on.
The Devil said, "Buy it, honey, buy it!"
And the preacher's wife said,
"Get thee behind me, Satan!"
And the Devil did, then he said,
"Mm. Looks good on you from here too…"

Written by a friend. Kweku Asante.

Sink

Feeling the metal
sink into your flesh
and glide along
the vast plane of your skin.

Growing exposed to the outside world,
to the ability to breathe again—
The bubbles begin to rise
lining the sides of the wound.

Once they begin to pile,
a large wave of red
flows over the lining,
and down the rest of the plane.

——

It finally contains itself mildly,
allowing for the wave to slow at the shore;
It’s not the end for you yet,
as you succumb to
the temptation once more.

My Light

Close to you
But how close can I get without getting burned by
Your skin
So tempting, so vicious, so mysterious
Trapping me in
My own mind
Is tripping when you're near
My own mind
Betrays my senses and ruins
Everything
Is perfect, if I see you
Today

My mind is not so sure
Any more and I will
Leave, tonight, we live
Despite
The lies and liars
Light will guide me
To the truth
And you're the light

Church Tears

touch me with your human eye and die,
swirling hallucinations change the thought into unsheathed spell,
petals of vows kneeled into temptation,
the force of the Goddess alleviates the pain of mankind,
deaths after mountains of deaths,
come spirits of the Earth,
I clean and purify your prayers,
today you will succeed beyond your terror,
come feed yourself with virtues from above,
grapes, peaches, roses of the night.

My Book 'Goddess Of Divinity' will be out soon.

unwelcome guest

hello again, my fateful friend,
your visit is alarming

your smile still as charming

your pressence is disarming..

(even more) Fun

Of all the fun I've ever had
Almost all I've never told you
From hitting dab pens
To sneaking out with friends
Almost all I've never told you
Following the trends
Meeting random boys
Listening to the devils tempting voice
Crashing in hotel rooms for the night
To staying up with a boy till the sunlight
My phone holding all the photos I've taken I've never shown you
But you never knew, never found out about
The times I don't want to forget
You don't know about them yet
And my only regret out of all of it
Is that I can't tell you one bit

Part 3 to "Fun"

Dangerous addiction

A puff of curiosity withdraws
Bewilderment out of my lung.
Though, quick to become my amusement,
I’m lead into an orgastic pleasure.

A dose of you completely fills the void
Within the brachial branches of my lung.
The naivety within me pleasantly
Accepts the corruption that you pose.

A dose of you is now my daily diet
That fuels every precipice of the
Body to its functioning capability.
Minutes without - not tolerated
By the deepest yearning for
A puff of obsession to you.
