The Forbidden Apple

 I once met a forbidden apple,

Forbidden for each and every soul.

I smiled at it and turned around,

To walk along my lonely road.

After half a kilometer my feet stood still,

And I thought about that apple over and over again.

Pearls slipped out of my eyes,

My hands drew fists tight.

A part of me wanted to go back to eat it,

And the other knew I cannot...
