The Forbidden Fork
Following the homeward trail by heart
Carefully eluding every puddle
My footsteps start to quicken
Knowing soon the path would part
Forewarned to never venture near
The fork leading to his lair
Oh, the lure of the forbidden
Curiosity whittles away the fear
Only once I’d met his piercing eyes
Had felt a shiver down my spine
The alluring gaze bestowed on me
Said evil rumors were not lies
Once through the wooded hollow
Temptation awaited me at the fork
Like a spider leading me to its web
Blatantly daring me to follow
My heart’s familiar racing…
Each beat echoing in my ears
Arms tightening around my body
Fantasizing him I was embracing
Such strange partners…thirst and fear
The confusion overwhelming
Drawn fiercely to his presence…
Intensely dreading he would appear
Torturously by his fork I passed
Fantasies rampant in my mind
Outwardly cursing this aching desire
Inwardly pleading for it to last
