FORBIDDEN FRUIT
Within the warped webs we weave -
are hidden thoughts and desires
cultivated gardens of deceit
formed in fertile soil of our souls .
In the center of this tangled maze
nurtured by the heat and haze
thrives the blood sucking Tree of Immoral Dreams
twisting from what it is - to what it seems.
On each heavy laden bough
hangs the juicy want of now
dangle glistening just beyond reach
with some exasperating lesson out to teach.
That attained is undesired
That untouched is forged and fired
That we hold is utmost meek
That forbidden is what we seek.
