Forbidden Fruit
Folder:
Dedications So long have I stared at this tree
sitting in my garden.
It's byproduct started as a seed,
pollinated daily.
Soon fruit emerges
and I've watched it ripen
over time until it matures.
It looks so succulent
glistening with its juices.
It calls to me;
I just want one bite.
I want its sweetness
to hit my tastebuds
for only a moment.
But I know as soon I can try it,
I will become insatiable,
craving it wantonly.
So best to stay away
from this forbidden fruit
that tempts me
in case it destroys me.
