Forbidden Fruit............

              Forbidden Fruit.............

The taste of temptation, to her, tastes sweet
As the forbidden fruit becomes her treat
Passion, desire, and maybe love
Is all her eyes are set on as she looks above

She looks to the stars as they shine in the night
While reality lays out of sight
The smell of lust, the taste of desire
Becomes her drive as she walks through the fire

The flames of passion nipping at her heels
As her mind begs her heart to appeal
Her heart overrides her head in a moment of bliss
As she allows human nature it's soulkiss

Her teeth sink into the soft flesh of the juicy fruit
Her quest for fulfillment in full pursuit
The juice of the sweet nectar slides down her chin
As judgement is passed on her sin

She feels the moment as it quickly slips away
Her punishment leaving her in dismay
The fruit dissolves in her hand as it becomes dust
Which is blown away in a windy gust

She stands alone not sure what to do
While Zeus deftly executes his coup
But as she turns to take her leave
With not a prayer and nothing left to believe

She turns back around as the smell fills the air
And sees the lone fruit that the tree again has bared
All thoughts of the moment that has just passed
Fleetingly and expeditiously have all but been cast

In the shadows of the night she holds out her hand
And reaches for the fruit as she takes her stand
For she longs for the moment that life gives her her due
And passion, desire, and yes love, become true

No regrets for her losses, no regrets for her pain
As she takes the journey with everything to gain
