Forbidden

You always want

what you can't have

It's there within reach

yet it's untouchable

The yearn and the want

for the forbidden

equalized by

The fear and uncertainty

of the forbidden

Do you give into the temptation

or

Do you fight it daily and nightly

Haunting images of what could be

tease you as you sleep

The ache felt every morning

when you awaken

Dulled only by preocuppying the mind

but the heart and body

still feel that ache

Forbidden fruit tastes the best

but do you dare tempt fate

and push that hand forward

and clutch that fruit to your bossom

And now

the question before you:

Do you let passion conquer

or

Do you fight the forbidden
