Stolen Kiss

Forbidden Fruit

You ripen oh so beautifully

When the sunlight’s on your skin

But tears of sadness drip like dew drops

From your world within

I thirst to taste your juice so sweet

And pluck you from your pain

But on the vine beside your mate

You faithfully remain

My heart it folds around your smile

And sinks into your eyes

But as you stir it feels your chains

Then crumbles up and dies

You look at me with mutual thoughts

But love remains a mute

And all our feelings die of thirst

As you’re forbidden fruit
