I’ve let the whispers
Of the demons in my head
Turn into comforting melodies
Turn into irresistible desires
They tell me how good
The sin could make me feel
Convince me of solutions
That shouldn’t be options
I let them taunt me
Twist my thoughts around
But in a moment
I am reminded who the enemy is
The demons are not on my side
No matter what they try to offer
Even when the temptation
Sounds exquisite
I have to muster the strength
To fight for my life

Lately I don't even know who to trust
They’re saying even Satan was an angel once
He was a gorgeous angel before the fall,
but god cursed him and took his all.
I walk through the garden of Eden with temptation in my soul.
It climbs my interests,
flooding my neurons  with desire.
I can feel the hellfire in our passion.
The closer we get, the more we feed the burn.
I pretend to fake innocence to keep you intrigued.
No can ever fall in love with me.
I see a sparkle of heaven in your eyes;
Hold my hand as you feed me pretty lies.
I begin to dissolve into you.
i am losing who i was and who i am..
not that i ever really knew.
however, we must cut our ties before we cut ourselves, because tasting the forbidden fruit didn’t turn out well for Eve.

हो चाहत में इतनी शिद्दत, के कोई ताकत सामना कर ना सके
हो दिल में इतनी मोहब्बत, के नफरत भी मुकाबला कर ना सके

Let my desire have such intensity that no power dare face it
Let my heart bear such love that no hatred can ever match it
The sure way to **** temptation is to face it.
again and again.
and once more.
or twice.

The crystal ball grows dim

And shadows being to form.

Swirling into darkness,

They slowly **** the light.

The prophecy is broken.

The chosen one is gone.

Fallen prey to Hades urges.

We are now alone.


Tread lightly with your mortal soul.

Don’t let temptation break you.

If you submit to their desires,

Salvation will forsake you.

the preacher's wife
being tempted by a new dress she was trying on.
The Devil said, "Buy it, honey, buy it!"
And the preacher's wife said,
"Get thee behind me, Satan!"
And the Devil did, then he said,
"Mm. Looks good on you from here too…"

Feeling the metal
sink into your flesh
and glide along
the vast plane of your skin.

Growing exposed to the outside world,
to the ability to breathe again—
The bubbles begin to rise
lining the sides of the wound.

Once they begin to pile,
a large wave of red
flows over the lining,
and down the rest of the plane.

——

It finally contains itself mildly,
allowing for the wave to slow at the shore;
It’s not the end for you yet,
as you succumb to
the temptation once more.

Close to you
But how close can I get without getting burned by
Your skin
So tempting, so vicious, so mysterious
Trapping me in
My own mind
Is tripping when you're near
My own mind
Betrays my senses and ruins
Everything
Is perfect, if I see you
Today

My mind is not so sure
Any more and I will
Leave, tonight, we live
Despite
The lies and liars
Light will guide me
To the truth
And you're the light
touch me with your human eye and die,
swirling hallucinations change the thought into unsheathed spell,
petals of vows kneeled into temptation,
the force of the Goddess alleviates the pain of mankind,
deaths after mountains of deaths,
come spirits of the Earth,
I clean and purify your prayers,
today you will succeed beyond your terror,
come feed yourself with virtues from above,
grapes, peaches, roses of the night.
My Book 'Goddess Of Divinity' will be out soon.
