Sue Vincent’s Thursday Photo Prompt – Entrance #writephoto – Use the image below as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, as long as it is fairly family-friendly.
Flirting with temptation
a deadly habit where
things and people outside oneself
become lord and master
over the soul leading
to the threshold of
an entrance to a dark dwelling
where the soul remains
until in its bankruptcy
no light is found to be seen
a most beautiful place to be
to know the frailty of human
it is then the soul cries out
and Daylight dawns turning
frailty into Strength
laying to rest the deadly power
that once held the soul prisoner
*
Beautiful, Deborah.

You have such a gift with words, Deborah. I like how this poem unfolds – follows a pace of falling into temptation, darkness, then salvation. Beautiful.
