Once Eaten

The forbidden fruit

Let its essence

Cover your soul

It is given with trust

Taken with innocence

Filled with passion

Seeds of eternal lust

Inflamed by desire

Deep emotions

Slightly revealed

Through the lace of shadows

Softly laid across naked truth

Blurred senses transform

Affection into envy

Passion into greed

Tolerance into egotism

Contentment into unhappiness

Equality into injustice

Long for the moment

Wait for the sound

Anticipate the feeling

Enjoy the pleasure

Ripe and full

Gone is innocence

Never to return

Once eaten
