Forbidden Fruit: a Collab: Pc-Cd

The dancing flames lit up her hair In shades of dark and light She looked at me with longing eyes That sparkled in the night. I know, she said, what you desire The fruit that longing seeks She looked me straight into the eyes I watched her burning cheeks. I will give all and be your slave As long as you are mine We shall make love ‘til dawn is here And drink the sweetest wine. She threw herself into my arms And kissed my waiting lips I held her tight; could not resist Her undulating hips. Our passion’s fire burnt all night long Each movement – tenderness I wished this bliss we could prolong Profound togetherness. When morn’s first rays peered through the pane Lace curtains etched our skin A tapestry of silk domain She was my Anne Boleyn. But fantasies evaporate When light is shed on them Forbidden love seemed to berate How tarnished was our gem. One night we shared, but ne’er again Could we pursue our lust Her husband, he was my best friend We’d violated trust. ------------------------------------------------------------- Co-write: Paul Callus & Carolyn Devonshire ~ Oct 2014
