for him
   of course...


The legendary forbidden fruit is the self.
           ~David McFadden

you showed me where the fruit hung  
brought me the ladder with your own strong hands  
you taught me the words to sing  
while picking  

you pointed out the most ripe    
that ready to drop  
and when I reached for green griping fruit  
you shook your finger  
smiled  
put your hand to your ear  
sing louder  
louder  

oh but the fruit on that branch
is worth a thousand songs  
push aside the green leaves of thought
quickly
take it now

my hand shook  
as I reached  

and when the prize was mine
I sang

loudly

you stood beneath
waiting for a taste
of that which I had gathered

and I fed you

MiLady Kate... Fruit, like passion, when shared with someone special tastes all the sweeter and makes one thirst for more of the same.

Apples are wonderful, Milady... but my favorite is the sweet, succulent ambrosia nectar of a juicy sliced peach. I am powerless to resist. (sigh)
