Forbidden Fruit
I had a rendezvous with wrong
disguised to look like right
Deception clouds the flirting heart
to dim revealing light
She stood before me clothed
in want to be unclothed
And I was there to satisfy
her sacrificial pose
An old acquaintance, met by chance
come to tempt my soul
and I, no different to her eye
if truth to all be told
Forbidden fruit, forbidden bed
the keeper far from sight
come to gratify ourselves
upon the altar of delight
I fell with such abandon
the apple wasn't mine
But the snake's relentless whisper
"Come with me and dine".
"What harm in wrong, if none will know
such secrets hide from light"
But morning woke upon my bed
and light revealed the night
the night is gone, the secret lives
I must live the lie
The serpent smiles, someone knows
I can not hide from I!

Very beautiful! You've hit some important notes here.
Merry Christmas my friend! Always appreciate your responses. It is often our failures that are responsible for our sucesses. Where we go with failure makes us we become. With the good lord in my corner, I can not hide from me. Be well!
We cannot lie to ourselves, to that person looking at you in the mirror...We can rationalize, excuse, and even applaud a lie, but we cannot hide from it in our heart of hearts...To err is human...recognizing this we must forgive ourselves in our hearts, and pray to God that She Who Must Be Obeyed does not find out !! Personally, I would be scared stiff to lay next to the redheaded, omniscient, woman I married, not sleeping for fear of saying something that would motivate her to slip into the kitchen and look for the fillet knife...No Sir !!! I'll just keep my legs crossed, thank you....
I like the line " I had a rendezvous with wrong disguised to look like right
Deception clouds the flirting heart, to dim the revealing light "...
Ah, sweet lust, such intoxicating nectar we drink...
Happy holidays my friend...Larry
