Forbidden Fruit

Need blossoms inside me, like a flower in full bloom.
Normalcy renders me useless, to the snake, impending doom.
I want what I cannot have the most.
Visions of false truths dance inside my empty head.
Desire overtakes me, makes me wish that I were dead.
I couldn’t have dreamed of sugarplums.
Forbidden fruit beckons me and no lesson has been learned.
Easily obtainable, it’s what I feel I’ve earned.
Obviously Eve has taught me nothing.
Plucked from a high branch, it’s sweet juice drips down my face.
Bellows through the garden, I’m no longer in God’s grace.
That’s what lust will get you in this life.
 
                  Just a half eaten apple, evil to the core.

It is just so hard to resist the forbidden. You captured that perfectly!

Well done, I enjoyed the experience of myth and reality in this very much. You tackled a good topic here and bit the apple hard!

Sometimes knowing oneself too well has it's pitfalls.

Tantalised not only Eve but I believe every one is in their lives. This one is very well-crafted.
