Kiss the Rattlesnake

The perilous path to paradise
Ominous omens in disguise
I left my soul at sunrise
On the beaches to be sacrificed

Orchestrated oblivion
Choreographed chaos

A ravenous rendezvous
Of insatiable lust
Kiss the rattlesnake
And poison your trust

Orchestrated oblivion
Choreographed chaos

The strongest aphrodisiac is curiosity
When the mystery is solved
The sweetest ambrosia loses its flavor
And passion slowly withers

nice imagery. well done.

The strongest aphrodisiac is curiosity
When the mystery is solved
The sweetest ambrosia loses its flavor
And passion slowly withers

Which is why it takes over (55 billion / 2) to maintain passion levels.

decadent

as if I were in pub with some absinth drinking accursed poets
thank you

Thanks for the kind feedback.

I loved this piece jabble
temptation in Harvest eh
Dangerous business kissing Rattlesnakes
Is it our nature to desire more that which is partially possessed and less that which is completely grasped or is it just Venus up to his/her dirty tricks .

I actually got the idea for this poem after reading a quote which said "We can resist everything but temptation". I think desire is intrinsic to human nature. Even if we know it's destructive, curiosity serves as the ultimate temptation.
