Forbidden Fruit, by Hope in A Bottle Subscribe to rss feed for Hope in A Bottle

My brow began to sweat
My heart was racing
I was not able to
Resist temptation.

It's skin is very tough,
Inside it's heaven.
I got a taste of it
No second serving.

I'm at a banquet full,
But still I'm starving
Could be the greatest meal
To me it's famine.

My world so grey now
My food is tastless.
It is forbidden fruit,
That tastes the sweetest.

It may be poisonous,
But it's not tainted.
Far to beautiful
Could not be painted.

Reminds me of the story of Adam and Eve... the beautiful fruit that brought sin into the world. Well done!
