"Evening
Mood" by William Adolphe Bougereau

Temptation
It
must have been so exasperating
To
watched something so close and beautiful, yet so far and unreachable...
How
difficult it must have been
to
resist something so tempting,
Yet
so forbidding...
But
how can you resist something so inviting, when it's dangling right before
you and beckoning?
Can
you turn your back to something so enchanting, when it leaves you desperately
wanting ... begging?
You
feel as if your whole body is aching,
When
each times you tried resisting
Your
heart's crying out, defying, rebelling!
Insisting
all the more ... craving, desiring!
When
one is torn between feelings
and
sound reasoning, the struggle from within is quite exhausting,
Leaving
one gasping for breath ... panting,
As
if his chest is about to explode, collapsing.
It
must have been so frustrating ...
It
must have been so exasperating ...
To
wish and crave for something so tempting, yet so forbidding ...
Catch
yourself, if you find yourself glancing, reaching,
Least,
by the wayside,
you
see yourself stumbling, falling.
Or
spend the rest of your life
remorsing,
regretting ... |
