Temptations

Peering into taboo land causes a slaver to trickle down the edge of your lips, doesn’t it? Just like a mindless zombie craving for human flesh as told in many books. That glance into the eyes of the forbidden can leave you high strung and restless just like a nicotine-deprived addict. A taste of the wares it displays will leave you with a fiendish-like bloodthirst for more, to no gratifying end.

In earnestness, guard your hearts all who are meek and innocent, blessed to have never faced and tried to overcome its influence.
Shield your souls all who are religious and staunch in faith, privileged to have been forewarned of its damage.
While you do these, do not forget to bolster your defences, that is the dogmas of your beliefs. Resort to whatever extreme measures to keep it at bay. Do not trust your odds at staying it, I beseech you.

For we are inexorably bound to the fate of the carnal and it dictates that we acquiesce.
That we heed to the longings from its town whether we wish to or not.
The need to respond to its calling has been hardwired into our human circuits.
Hence any resistance expressed towards this desire is an aberration to its written code that is swiftly corrected. In the light-weighted words of one who has been dealt a crippling blow, it is a hopeless effort to prolong something so instinctive even for the untethered and the stalwart.

For who clearly understands its dominance over all?
No one does.
Not even the Great men of old have escaped its claws.
Paupers, theists and atheists, new age revisionists even the young and frail are left decimated in its wake.
It sees not class, age, stature, estate and all other demographics. It does not discriminate for everyone is food for its ravenous hunger.

Temptations! This is what does, this is what it can do and this is what it will do when you accede to its wiles.
Temptations! The name we coined for we this orlay.
Make a conscious effort to avoid meeting it halfway.
And when you’re hit by the full force of its power, erase the thoughts of finding a means to parlay.
You will not win! I truly hope you decide to hit the highway.
Truthfully, no one who has tested themselves against this force will accuse you of cowardice. They will recognise the bravery in your retreat.

Temptations! Serpentine in deed, seducing and coaxing without cease. A performance mirroring the dance of the seven veils.
Unwavering in its overwhelming desire to break you.
The ultimate foreplay to lasting nothingness, deadening you to the consequence that follows in its path.
Untold is the veritable closeness it brings you to the finality of life.
A diversory tactic to leave you spurned when you meet whoever predestined for you to be here.
