dancing with a demon

I linger on your face and every

Word that flows past those beautiful lips.

You are the worst temptation,

But I will risk it all for

Just

One

Kiss.

I am dancing with a demon

In my dreams.

You are sweet but

Forbidden, and that is what

Makes me want you more.

For me to love you is for me to rebel.

For you to care is for you to step away

From that hell you call "good."

I am stepping into foreign territories

Just to see your

Deep,

Brown eyes.

I am risking it all for

Just

One

Kiss from the tempter himself.

I wish I could be that demon, there's nothing I'd want more :-(

You are the worst temptation,

Great beginning. Actually, the word 'linger' is just perfect there. After you read the poem, you remember that word, and that just makes the entire poem linger in your mind. Corny, but valid.

In my dreams.

And alliteration. That's always a plus. You get a sticker.
