The low hanging forbidden fruit

Sulfurous pipettes steamed the last omega-crystal, the sore branch leeches its last resplendence of the season, and bookish kept in the bow of the festoon of leaves, and simple guurlick fabled and abreeze, and so the fruit spins eons and greater fawning realizations. If it was given perchance a look that it does actually have like saphire light that is without blueish asks, lesser boughs keel and balk and besties look for the lowest mark, and coax when next the wicked wind, that throws this fruit from timid limbs and unfurls that one waxing pearl, the low hanging fruit artfully yearns.

To think that I could set a spell
and have a little chat,
that out might pop a sweet rondel
like rabbits from a hat
whose origins no bard could tell - 
can you imagine that?

But what might mystify me more:
to call that work my own.
Would you not have to silence shame
or are such thoughts unknown?
The tech is cool, that much is true;
sometimes my mind is blown,
but characters are often lost
once typed into a phone.

Forbidden fruit, 
I cannot resist you.
I reach for you,
but shouldn't touch.
Let me trace my fingers over
Your skin, every inch.
Let me take just one bite,
I know you'll taste so sweet,
but you'll rot my teeth
and leave me starving.

Cast aside the fig leaf,
Eat the apple from the tree.
Sip the wine of passion,
And set your spirit free.

Bask in nature's splendor,
And dance around the fire.
Then sing beneath the stars,
And act on your desire.

Take her by the hand,
And lay upon the ground.
Warm bodies intertwined,
Two hearts the only sound.

Bathe in languid motion,
Mutual bliss is the goal.
Taste the forbidden fruit,
And feed each other's soul.

Your smile is
titillating.
I get
all giddy, and
my heart skips a beat
whenever
I'm in
your presence.
Yet, you 
can't know I'm
heads over
heels in love with you.
For unrequited love,
is
a forbidden fruit.


The Forbidden Fruit

The fruit of knowledge is both sweet and bitter,
A taste that lingers, never forgotten.
It brings enlightenment, to what once was dim,
A path to wisdom, that shall forever win.

It brings the wisdom of good and evil's strife,
And with it, pain, like a blunt and endless knife.
A curse and blessing, is the knowledge we gain,
Of the world's deep darkness and brilliant pain.

Ignorance is bliss, they say, so true it be,
But to know the truth, is to be truly free.
The highest highs, the darkest lows, it's all the same,
The power of knowledge, a burden to claim.

For in it lies the key to our own fate,
And with it comes the power to create.
So let us suffer, in this knowledge we seek,
For it's the only way to truly be unique.

came with a warning

Forbidden Fruit

DEAR STRAIT GIRL,

  Please learn to keep 
Your curiosity in check.
   When you flip-flop,
It causes a wreck.

   It's cool if you want 
To be Bi.
   It blows chunks when
You hang us out to dry.

   Leave us alone, stay 
In your strait world.
   Don't come around here
Being an undercover girl.

   Why does the strait girl?
Cross to the other side.
   That day will come,
You will divide.

   No big deal its 
Just curiosity.
   It looks more like 
Hypocrisy.

   She goes back to where ever
She came from.
   Your messed-up for
Years to come.

   You're cruising along, BANG,
Her feelings change.
   The effect is the same as,
A double-barrel at close range.

   It leaves a big
Black hole.
   A million little pieces,
It kills the soul.

   You ponder, where did
I go wrong?
   She was never gay,
Just strung you along.

   Emotions can be powerful,
A weapon of destruction.
   Especially, when mixed with
The art of seduction.

   It is not a phase,
Or a new toy.
   The human heart is 
Easy to destroy.

   My sign does not
Read I recruit.
   Look again, it reads
Forbidden fruit.

The Forbidden Fruit

When in need of an Answer
One needs to cut deep
To awaken the Magic 
One slices horizontally, 
Now, I can see it glowing 
From the Heart of the Apple.

Like Hollywood movies                                                                                                                                                          filled with romance and suspense;                                                                                                                     arresting and captivating

The forbidden ignored;                                                                                                                                                 driven, we do it anyway;                                                                                                                                              morality set aside

Forbidden Fruit of Love

Love crosses my path
But I didn't touch
She's forbidden fruit
But she's smokin'
In that tight body
I couldn't resist
So I tap her innocence

Her Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden fruit warned she 
could be touched by none
So succulent she could not 
be tasted by just anyone
Her name alone made men 
crave her even more
Plucking her saying just 
to taste they truly swore

But they never stopped 
passing her all around 
When sweetness faded 
she laid upon the ground
Callously tossed there laying 
bruised and beaten
So cruel not to end her, 
but leave her half eaten

Soon days flew by she 
slowly sank into the soil
Ashamed how they let her 
very sweetness spoil
So proud that she was 
praying for a kind death
But soon she was transformed 
and took a new breath

Yet still forbidden fruit but 
now with something new
When the men came again, 
it'd be the day they'd rue
Once again they plucked 
her from her sturdy tree
She swore her pain they 
would surely feel and see

She was still so sweet and 
succulent for them to eat
But to survive this toxic cocktail 
would be their greatest feat
Named "the little apple of death" 
a fitting name with a just cause 
Her sweet fruit would be the last 
these men ever tasted or saw

Forbidden Fruit, the Woman

into me the snake
enticed in heaven of God
to eat (sex) forbidden fruit, the woman!

Forbidden Fruit

Looking so sumptuous
Tempting unknowingly
Edging on onlookers
To do much more than stare

You insist to remain forbidden
But you desire to be claimed
Should I pick this forbidden fruit?
Oh no, I do not dare

To pick you would be lethal
Poisonous in your nature 
I fall into your trap 
Of great despair

Now I am just another victim
Of this forbidden fruit
Irresistible to the eye 
Deadly to the touch
