Forbiden Fruit

In a deserted place void of love I came to ground
Filled with doubt I wandered around

I had been here before such desolate waste
For how long? Must I remain fallen from grace
Forsaken to walk alone in my path
Unimaginable longing for another to hear my heart
My language long forgotten ancient and bold
Destined to sing and heal their souls.

The path drew me to this beautiful tree
All my senses warning me
I know to stay here would be wrong
The tree inviting sturdy and strong
delirium lulling me to restless sleep

My dreams more magical than ever before
Wanton desire for the fruit it bore
As I dreamed the fruit became a man
Overwhelming need to take his hand
The wind blew strong warning me not to progress
How is my heart to resist his caress
Wishing I could stop and freeze time
Drunk with love for a man who can not be mine

Whatever his reasons for drawing me into this place
The warnings ignored the moment his hands touched my face
I knew I was captured and under his spell
Dreaming under a tree where I dwell

You are Forbidden but just like Eve I take that bite
Regardless of all the wrongs and rights

I know the destiny of the path I've taken
And GRACE for me is still forsaken.

Sad poem Penelope,
A longing for love so strong
that you're willing to make mistakes.
Be careful..........Mick

Thankyou I have not written for over a year so its lovely to know the emotion comes through. The fact is I only write when depression takes hold of me as a way of releasing the inner thoughts however I am not sad so writing something today is more of a challenge. Hauntingly sad poems are my style angel I am a hopeless romantic xx
