Tripping Over T's

                                                                                                                                                               

Trolling for treats,
Tricks that fuel desires.
Turn up the heat,
Thrust wood into the fire.

Tortured by guilt,
Traumatized by pleasure.
Torn from foundations built,
Trusted vows so treasured.

Tender tongues transpire,
Traveling to uncharted places.
Tasting new flavors never tires,
Traces drizzled on content faces.

Treading waves once more,
Tempted for a life sub par.
Trembling as he opens the back door,
Trapped with her hand in the cookie jar.

    Delores - Last year I wrote a darker "T" poem, and some people thought that it was based on my life, so I thought I'd try a lighter version this time. Thanks Delores!

  18. Yet again, I'm so impressed. I laughed at the last line too. Your alliterative rhymes equate with terrifically creative fun. And yet this one has a sexy deviance to it. Very well done, Julie!
