Anguished Droplets : Temptation
My spirit, slow to mend, chases the mind's escape
We are the foolish chosen, designed to awe the wise,
The weak-willed instrument that shames the strong man's eyes.
Let hope grasp everything, for Nothing is Impossible.
To see the truth, you don't need logic, neat and stable;
You only need the faith to trust the Unbelievable.
My Shadow seeks deep cover, where the solar light cries out;
Return, my bitter tears! Resolve this gnawing doubt!
Tell me what you are! Why has feeling been suppressed?
I cannot stay, I must go, yet hold you to my breast.
I vow I won't let go, though I know I shall remain
A terrified, clutching Fraud, terrified of the final, freeing pain!
After the blinding crash. Now, open the eye and gape;
Witness the shocking wonder, a truth too grand to hold.
Have I fractured self? Is my living essence sold?
A dissonant chord rings out: This cannot be quite right.
Am I ensnared by slumber, or bathed in awful light?
I lie a desperate truth: I am well. I am fine.
Answer me, Self! Rise up, cross the perilous line!

This deep Seduction now is welded into me.
Damn you, Temptation! You’ve conquered, I agree.
Go! Walk away! I know this is the destined fall,
But I will never leave, for you are my ecstasy, my all.

Go! Walk away! I know this is the destined fall,
But I will never leave, for you are my ecstasy, my all.
I cannot leave your presence, for you are pure Ecstasy,
A venomous, sweet allure, now sinking deep in me.
Damn you, Temptation! Your chains hold me fast!
Go! I scream to my spirit. Run! Before this feeling lasts.
Illusion smiles: "The best defense is none.
Surrender to the pleasure till the battle is undone.
I'll show you joys unknown; Elation is but smoke
Unless you simply yield, and let your spirit choke."
