Forbidden Fruit

It is raw or The ripen Bitter or The rotten If the hunger is mad The taste has not a virtue The tongue is volatile To here and there Escaped logic Like a vagabond Runs for the desire Mind is blind Having broken doors Nothing to close or open The heart is only a Senseless organ Udaya R. Tennakoona
