The Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden fruit, a tempting, wicked bite, Now fills my soul with a forbidden light. I craved, I took, a hunger deep inside, No reason strong enough to turn aside.

The taste, oh sweet, a reason it was banned, A pleasure endless, grasped within my hand. Like endless food, a hunger unconfined, The more I take, the more my cravings bind.

A single bite, a curse they used to say, But on this tree, I've feasted all the way. No curse descends, but pleasure takes its hold, A vibrant life, a story yet untold.

They called it poison, meant for one to fear, But what's one man's curse, another holds so dear. Regret now whispers, of chances missed before, A life less sweet, a joy I should've explored.

The courage found in darkest desires' flame, Ignites a fire, whispers my own name. This forbidden fruit, my newfound delight, May hold the future, burning ever bright.
