Midnight confessions

These lazy conversations
At half past midnight 
Have got me feeling 
Like a teenager again 

These stolen moments 
When the rest of the world sleeps
Have reminded me
That I still have a working smile 

The sound of my phone beeping 
As a message from you comes through 
Has my  heart racing 
Like a kid on Christmas morning 

It's been so very long 
Since I've felt so free 
To confess my secrets to someone 
As today becomes tomorrow 

These midnight confessions 
And whispered laughs 
Create memories 
To last till the end of time...

Temptation...

I've been looking at them,
For a few days now 
And I have to admit, 
The temptation is getting stronger...

Some days 
They sing out to me 
In a sweet song
Unheard before

And somedays
They Whisper quietly 
Telling me 
All of their secrets 

Tonight 
They are telling me 
That they can take me somewhere 
That I will never wish to leave again 

They shout out loud 
These tempting promises 
And today, 
I feel like giving in

I open the bottle 
And lay them out 
These pretty little 
tempting things... 

One by one... 
I count them out.... 
My beautiful 
travel companions 

Take me away 
I say to them 
As I give in 
To temptation...
