Sweeter is forbidden fruit
That's been tried before.
Now, I need it! I crave more.
I wait, quiet, at her root.

When may I take another bite?
Perhaps I never can.
T'would hurt the will of me, of man,
Yet that path could be right.

If my tree could sit nigh yours
In the autumn orchard,
Tainted tastes would not be tortured
As they were before.

woah, loving your imagery in this piece. it had a very mellow feel to it. loved your last stanza especially. very nice dedication, indeed. the only critique i have is that i thought it was short, maybe add another stanza or two. but it was still a good write. keep posting
