Temptation

You were forbidden but you made my heart smile. One look at you, and I was hopelessly beguiled. I gave into temptation, you were the queen's tarts. I am hoping that this infatuation soon departs. I am intrigued to say the least, you are a feast for my eyes. As the sun rises and sets, I am certain that I will not have any regrets. You gave me the gift of clarity, the grass just might be as green and carve a path that leads to prosperity. No vanity, just lust, this attraction is much too robust to toss to the side, like a broken doll. Enthralled, I fall further into your web, causing confusion but I hope that it never ends. But instead, I know that we will be become the best of friends. Your intrigue lies in your carefree attitude and includes the many moods of your humble stew. I want to hold your hand and show you how to be strong, it has been too long since butterflies have danced along with the lyrics to my life's song. A day spent with you is like a thousand nights sublime, you can be my partner in crime as we lock ourselves away, in a prison of our own. Like a bird with a clipped wing, I want to nurse you back to life and make you my everything. I see you hurting yourself and it hurts me too; knowing that you are full of potential that is left to be pursued. Hold my hand and follow me into a land where we can be free, devoid of distractions, but full of interaction. Let our bodies join as one, as I teach you all I have learnt under the burning sun. You just might be the one, but I am too much of a coward to accept it. So instead, I embrace the inevitable rejection that threatens to devour me whole. You should be my moon high above my sky, the one whom I turn to at night to say goodbye. Tale a chance, make a bet and root for me; I can fill your world with endless ecstasy. But until then, you will solely remain a friend. I will help your heart mend, and help you transcend this idle state that others fail to comprehend. We will walk together, racing toward a common goal. I can see us growing old, watching our future together as it unfolds. My heart is filled with cowardice and sadness for the risk that I must take, but I would much rather swim in your provocative lake than make another mistake. Doomed for an eternity, to wallow in a pool of my own self-pity. You rocked my world, like an electric guitar; like the mandolin, your classical beauty is the only excuse for the amount of attraction I feel as the walls fall down in my own personal Berlin.

Smile

From the very first moment that I encountered your beauty, I knew that my life would change. You made me blossom like spring does to the cherry tree, and set me free from a life of keeping misery company. I braced myself as you entered my life, knowing that you were one of a kind. Our fingers entwined, as we danced cheek to cheek, our paths now intertwined. I knew I would fall as hard as the rocks that line the ocean's floor. Yours was a kiss that sent shivers throughout my spine, one that I yearned to explore. I caved and allowed you to steal my heart away from my sleeve that shamefully wore it, I admit that it was your smile that made the world infinitely less abhorrent. Your love encompasses me in its entirety, like the most majestic waterfall. I fall deeper in this love that cascades over me, ebbing and flowing, further enthralling me with each whispered word and touch. Your voice provides me with the security needed to brace winter's icy cold, as your arms fill me with warmth because your Midas touch is gold. Your smile washes away the sorrows that danced into my world, like the oyster that offered nothing other than its meagre pearls. Your rainbow sky paints the canvas of my life with colours that are endlessly bright, as my heart calls your name whenever it is in need of light. You rocked my boat, and made me feel so brand new, I am filled with gratitude, yet I always fail to thank you. The steps that lead from my heart to yours decrease with each passing day, three years to the day and I still love the image of success that you portray. You are my best friend, my lover and my lucky star; the tears of my beautiful, yet gently weeping guitar. The sitar, that classically strums to the beat of my heart. From the start, I knew you would never depart; that you would stay and essay the love that you display. You rock my world, my life; like the knife that cut through my soul and attempted to devour me whole. My naivety led me to believe that your arms would never relieve the pain that I eternally receive. With a kiss and a hug, you were the cancerous drug that led me to my exile. It took awhile, but in the end, your never ending charm always beguiled my style. Your smile, wrapped up in a bow, is the sole pride I have left to show. And because of my glee, your love has violently filled my soul, and captured my heart in its tide, like the Adriatic sea.
