Forbidden Fruit Part 1 & 2

A Poem About Desire

By Kayla LewisPublished 6 years ago 2 min read

A fruit so ripe

Tender to the touch

A sensual aroma

That I crave so much

Seductive to the eyes

Enticing my already lustful mind

So unique is the fruit I seek

But forbidden is what it is to me

As the wind blows

I inhale the aroma from the air

Capturing my mine

Ignoring all warning signs

Snatching the fruit from the vine

As I devour what was to be off limits to me

Guilty of a crime with no evidence to convict

But scenes of my crime linger in my mind

Still tasting the passion for the fruit

As the desire to have more becomes so strong

Nothing satisfying this hunger growing inside

My body weak as the thoughts of being fed fill my mind

Wanting to have more of what I should not

But still not satisfied

I seek more of what is forbidden to me

Part 2

Clenching my heart

As the fruit slips from my hands

Poisoned by my own desires

Dying from my own lustfulness

Heart becoming cold

Wishing I had listened to what I was told

Repercussions I would not have had to face

If I had not been weak in the first place

Tears falling from my cheeks

As my heart becomes weak

Slumping to the ground

Screaming but without sound

My body feeling numb but also full of pain

The fruit slowly begins to rot

As the smell does the same

No longer wishing it was mine

But laying here it all becomes clear

It’s just what I had feared

The pain I feel is caused by my own desires

And as I watch the same fruit grow

From the seeds spilling out of this now rotted fruit

Slowly another girl approaches

With the same desires as I

And as the pain returns as I remember my encounter

I sit and wonder

How long will it take?

For the poison to set

And begin to break her down as well
