Unfulfilling love.
A lingering feeling so strong
its power engulfed my body.

Sensations coursing blood through and from my body
Baiting us to fall ill to our temptations and temptors.

All I see is a deep blue
imitating the flame of desire prancing around my room.

On my bed, there is nothing but that color I see.
It’s deep yet it fades—
Both the color and the feeling.
The feeling of a serpent gone & nearby.
- This poem describes what it feels like when you are falling for guilty pleasures/ temptation.
I use Biblical imagery like a serpent to represent the impulsiveness.

Interesting and celebrated mortals,
made immortal
in a novel way,
the world as
imagined,
that once,
the lost
generation, weren't we all aware…

history, back to eve, mito-mom, good sci
easy believing, no sweat, no after effect,
faster fasting,
slow learn the chants, can't we sing
if we wish
trumpet in a concrete canyon blown blue

morph
phain, feign gnosis, yes, this is the better,
ever after
that ever before.

Breathe. Think, a steady state of suspended
dis-be, leads to un-be edu to be
lief or not.

Is that a lot to ask?
Not om om
my god, I think,
I am,
but I could be wrong, I lost this game
once.

The Hunger,
inescapable,
rumbled throughout
your celestial body.
Temptation whispered in your ear
of more—
Greed and Sin
beckoned you,
too close to the sun.
But you, in a haze,
blindly complied.

Against Him.

Your wings burnt
in the scorching heat.
I saw the tendrils of deceit
encapsulate you
as your wings grotesquely contorted.
Flecks of burning faith crumbled
to nothingness.

A wordless scream
left your lips.
Almost instantaneously,
you, writhing,
catapulted—
a freefall of fate—
until you hit
the gritty ash
of betrayal
below.

You betrayed Him,
and so you became
eternally ******,
scattered in the winds
of Hell,
my fallen angel.

Part I — Divine
The Mortal Speaks

Her rosy cheeks, her auburn hair,
Enchant the breeze with sweetness rare.
Apples and peaches, ripe on the vine,
Voluptuous grace in soft moonshine.
Evenings, like wine, drip from her lips,
Nectar no god or man dare sip.

Seldom does a star descend,
Eclipsed by longing none could mend.
Nearer she draws—divine, undone,
Tonight, I burn, one with the sun.

Part II — Carnal
The Goddess Speaks

How strange, this ache no god should feel,
Each glance from you—so raw, so real.
Love was a myth I sang in jest,
Lust, now a flame I can't contest.

Beneath my skin, a storm that calls,
Over my throne, temptation sprawls.
Untouched by fate, you bent the law—
Never to rise from passion’s thrall,
Deeper into hell’s flames I fall.

She may walk like fire
and speak like wine,
but her lips
carry the ashes
of another man’s home.

Desire is not worth
the ruin you inherit.
No glory is found
in tasting
a betrayal
you didn’t earn.

Never sleep with another man’s wife. Some doors are locked for a reason. Kicking them open only brings ghosts.

Will you Stand Up
Against the grain of society
Defying deceptive opposition
Denouncing  Satan, The One
Who’ll Claim to be almighty God?
He mesmerizes the world
Delivering dyspeptic rants
Denounced all other gods
Popularity grows worldwide
Creating Miracles Healing Sick
Fallen Angels all around him
Evil Demons , chaos destruction,
Will you say “that’s not God”
“That’s the prophesied AntiChrist”
Knowing the consequences
Your Life expectancy
Diminishes swiftly
Instant Death

Will the Ends
Justify
The Means

The Last act
Of defiance
Will takes
Immense
Courage

Faith
As small As
A Mustard Seed
Can move
Mountains

Emulating
Role models
Shadrach
Meshach
Abednego
Daniel 3:8-30

Will you refuse?
To bow down to a
self-proclaimed god
At the threat of death?

Most lukewarm Christians
Can’t withstand temptation

Lead us not into temptation
But Deliver us from evil
(From the Lord’s Prayer)

Footnotes
Studying the book of Revelation, I started thinking what would tribulation look like? Do you take the mark of the beast or not
knowing you can’t buy you buy food no water
. Moral character will be defined instantly.
I'm doing better but I'm wondering if you're doing fine I can't get that thought past my mind
If I could breathe again I wouldn't starve to sin
Haven't
The weight of a home:
Just misery, in a wait, saving meant
For a friend, a shape of things to come

To come in a reign
Of symmetry, any old heart
Of wishes will do; a hunger for fame
That esteem, is an escort to choose smart

From a handier salt...
The world to confirm, candor
Of a needy walk with fault
Before a care has the truth, to serve

A shadow, a fear's angel...
With a borrowed tear...?
Fly away, and heed the gait of hell
Is my nobility, a truer crush of we're?

Pipe's of hatred?
Introducing a friend
As a copious blossom of a time, to lead
Another nefarious and austere means, away from sin...
a soul's mercy on the man, who can make this martini...
Carlo C Gomez Mar 20
Insatiable colored eyes
— inveigle, beguile —
let me tempt you a while.

Between first light
and the breezy part of afternoon
it will dawn upon you soon.

This was an encounter
of convenience
— solicitor's propinquity —
the price paid was your obedience.

Your independence day
tossed your children away,
into deep dark waters of misery
we were immersed.
