Jean Renwick's 'Forbidden Fruit' 🌹: A Sensual Tale of Desire and Shadows

Bands of shadow and light <br />touch gently your cheeks <br />revealing their slight flush of colour <br />and an outline of your parted lips. <br />Your desire is not concealed from me <br />and I want to taste. <br />But you and I, well, it could be complicated. <br /> <br />Where do our beliefs really lie? <br />Who are we to be comfortable in this world <br />of trespasses and restraint? – <br />Trying for acceptance and some fruitful growth, <br />some strange consummation. <br />We all reflect the same within-ness, <br />want the same peace, <br />need the same clarity. <br /> <br />I run my finger along your jawbone. <br />You grasp my hand in protest but silent longing. <br />Our look exchanged speaks loudly of reconciled <br />thoughts and banished uncertainties. <br />We bite from the inner cherry – <br />The only way to live truly.<br /><br />Jean Renwick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forbidden-fruit-30/
