Forbidden Love

stephwrites

Apples aren’t meant for people like me

 

They’re forbidden for those who go by she

 

They’re meant for those who go by he

 

I promised myself that I wouldn’t take a bite

 

I’ve been told all my life that this isn’t right

 

I promised myself that I would refrain

 

But it seemed impossible to not give in

 

Like a drought desperately needing the rain

 

The longer I stayed, the more I craved

 

I felt the blood pumping through my veins

 

The sweetest looking fruit I’ve ever seen

 

I couldn’t help myself no matter how hard I tried

 

One little bite and my hunger was satisfied

 

The sweet apple pursed against my lips

 

I continued to eat the apple, not caring about the pips

 

Not caring about the juice dripping down my face

 

This is forbidden

 

But oh, how I love the taste

 

Entrapped in her warm embrace

 

I couldn’t let this apple go to waste

    Quite a symbolic and most provocative write. Exudes imagery!

    Have you just confessed that you are responsible for climate change and all the other troubles that inflict the world?😀
