Temptation

Filed under: desire, indulgance, life, people, play, poetry, temptation — by shalabieh @ 7:10 am

I am temptation
I am the apple, the serpent and eve all in one
I am everything you run away from
I am every desire 

I haunt you at every corner
I am your waking thoughts
I sneak in to your dreams
I am ever present  

I am the temptation that will be your downfall
I am the temptation that is your salvation
I am the grey that lies between your black and white
I am every desire 

Seek your temptation
Indulge your whims
For you live but once each lifetime
I am your temptress

Let me take you for a walk in Damascus
I’ll and show you it faces
I’ll show you its places

Let me take you for a walk in Damascus
You can hear it voices
You can feel its pulses

Let me take you for a walk in Damascus
It is as old as time
It has many stories to tell

Let me take you for a walk in Damascus
You can write your own history
Make your own tapestry

Let me take you for a walk in Damascus
Meet the players
Feel its rhythm

Let me take you for a walk in Damascus
A walk through antiquity
A walk through history

Let me take you for a walk in Damascus
See it through my eyes
See it through new eyes

Let me take you for a walk in Damascus
