Forbidden Fruit

Karyn Indursky

Oh,
what I'd give to have
that one forbidden fruit?!
Just to taste the sweetness and tenderness
even the bitter parts
would be ecstasy.
I want to run my fingertips
over the smooth sweet skin...
to hold would even be better.
That fruit is so tantalizing!
I want to put my lips on
that sweet skin and lick it
for the devastating taste and feel.
I want to hear the sound
of my teeth biting into it.
I want sweet tickling juices
running teasingly off my tongue
to my lips to my chin to trail
down my throat.
Then, I'd be in bliss
until I'd wipe off the juice.
Such a succulent fruit
to eat, taste, hear, and such,
but, yet, it's forbidden.
