Micheal Lally's 'Forbidden Fruit' 🍎: A Sensual Journey of Desire and Discovery

all the forbidden fruit I ever <br />dreamt of--or was taught to <br />resist and fear--ripens and <br />blossoms under the palms of my <br />hands as they uncover and explore <br />you--and in the most secret <br />corners of my heart as it discovers <br />and adores you--the forbidden fruit <br />of forgiveness--the forbidden fruit <br />of finally feeling the happiness <br />you were afraid you didn't deserve-- <br />the forbidden fruit of my life's labor <br />--the just payment I have avoided <br />since my father taught me how-- <br />the forbidden fruit of the secret <br />language of our survivors' souls as <br />they unfold each others secret <br />ballots--the ones where we voted <br />for our first secret desires to come <br />true--there's so much more <br />I want to say to you--but for <br />the first time in my life I'm at <br />a loss for words--because <br />(I understand at last) <br />I don't need them <br />to be heard by you. <br /> <br /> <br />Submitted by Venus<br /><br />Micheal Lally<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forbidden-fruit/
