Desire reigned
With strict command
Never astray of principles
Restless and longing
Her heart sang for
Profound physical and spiritual indulgences
Resistance
Ripped, whittled, and wrestled
Control unraveled
Divine pleasure
Tempted
E. Denise Billups, Writer 
In my perspective – The nature of Temptation and Desire is unidirectional, a division, a separation within my own thought. And so are Control, Resistance and Pleasure.
The choice is within each of us to maybe become aware of the nature of our thoughts, resulting in a change of experiences, changing our memories that dictate our thoughts into a different everyday experiences 🙂

Thank you for the response. I agree that we are the masters of our wants, desires, temptations. Experience and time has a way of changing our habits, hopefully for the better.
