Forbidden Fuit

Nothing is as tempting 
As the flesh of forbidden fruit
One bite, so succulent, so sweet tasting, 
Was enough for her to know 
That this was all she ever needed

Past fruit that she had feasted on 
Could never, now satiate her 
Or fill her so wholesomely as this
And having tasted it once
She knew she had to have her fill

As her lips felt the soft sensual flesh,
She gave of herself completely
And the doors of desire, that for so long
Had been closed within her core, re-opened 
Allowing love to enter in once more.
