Forbidden Fruit

I understand Eve's temptation as she picked the juiciest apple from the tree.

Glistening from the precipitation kissing its red flesh.

My hands quiver as I reach to pluck it from its stem...

Ignoring your voice in the back of my head.

I'm ravenous...

Skin hot to the touch...

Mouth-watering from the vibrant crimson red apple in my palm.

I know it's wrong to feel this good, but what harm could one bite do?

You told me to stay away, nevertheless the desire was too much to bare.
