Temptation

moments like these make me
speak slowly
naked independence
a modern day David
salivating over a
million Bathshebas
naked temptation
the beauty of choice
play it Miles… play it man…
you drive the demons away
with your righteous
melodic breathing
play it brother… play it…
nakedness I mean
without clothes reveals
the glory of the universe…
the notions of good and evil
right now for me
exist between her thighs…
her legs are the spiritual highways
filled with dangerous slippery curves
and I risk becoming lost if I proceed…
so I pull back from my endless attraction
to self-destruction once again…
only to find her there
waiting for me,
smiling, lips and all…
