Trapped by twilight,
draped in dusk,
somber starless sable skies
enveloped me
in enigmatic emotions.
I drifted on daring dreams
of yesterday and you,
I yearned for your embrace.
Forbidden feelings
coursed through
these vacant veins,
consuming thoughts filled
this vapid void.
Desire was the death of virgin vows;
my marital monogamy
was desecrated and destroyed.
Temptation lured me, urges led me.
Longing defeated logic
and your voice
was like a vacuum,
drawing me, devouring me,
engaging and entrancing me
with your captivating charm,
your masculine magnetism.
Solicited by sin’s shadows,
we met for a midnight masquerade,
held heated hands
with intriguing intimacy,
fevered fingertips
touched tender flesh.
I surrendered to seduction,
let lust conquer my mind
and let sex swallow my soul.
In one mindless magical moment,
I abandoned aplomb
and discarded dignity.
I was powerless,
possessed by passion
and poison promises.
Author notes
The final challenge, write me a poem about being in the moment.
Regret - the moment you cheat on someone can never be taken back. The damage is done and it is a painful destruction.

Hoodwinked
I see you like to use alitterisms in your poetry. They have a nice effect. Promises can be poisonous. My promises are just broken. Congrats on your silver shiny winner. -

Lori, Good expression of being human and succumbing to the temtations that later haunt us with regret. Excellent alliteration throughout this piece. Congrats on the Silver trophy on this write.
