Temptation in The City of Light

At the very top I stand

marveling down at the city of romance,

injecting myself with its needle.

I take it all in,

embracing the warm sensation

deep into my body –

it’s easy to fall in love here.

Rushing through my veins

I am entranced and still

I only crave more.

One fix of you is never enough,

So seduce my senses -

and set me free.

These city lights shine in confirmation,

effortlessly, my body gives in

to this innate temptation.

Why try to stay away, my dear

when I simply…

can’t give you up?

I give in.

Letting go, now I only feel the breeze

Gently carrying me, yet knowing

I fell.
