Forbidden fruit.
Forbidden needs.
Sit constant.
Tempt me on the table top.
To have,
but do not touch.
Touch,
but do not feel.
Feel,
but do not smell.
Smell.
But do not Taste.
Taste,
but do not swallow.
Swallow.......

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
