temptation

In the twilight of an amber-drenched room,
There stood a man, his gaze fixed upon
The embodiment of desire—a woman
Whose form was the very language of temptation.

Her silhouette was a sonnet, each curve a verse
That sang of the moon’s pull on the tides,
The undulating dance of wheat in the wind,
And the gentle slopes of dunes caressed by the desert’s breath.

Her presence was a melody woven from
The whispers of satin and the rustle of leaves
Beneath the footsteps of a summer’s night.
She moved with the grace of a river’s current,

Her body a map of hidden paths and secret places
That beckoned him to explore.
Her curves were the crests of waves breaking
Against the shore of his restraint,

Urging him to lose himself in the ocean of her allure.
The man, a stoic sculpture of self-control,
Felt the chisel of her beauty tapping
Against the marble of his will.

With every breath she took, the air seemed to thicken
With the scent of jasmine and the warmth of skin against skin.
He was Icarus, and she, the sun—her radiance a glorious danger,
Her curves a labyrinth from which there was no desire to escape.

In her, he found the paradox of fire—
Both the burn and the warmth, the danger and the comfort,
The temptation and the fulfillment.
