Touch not the heart that doth not beat for you Plant not the seed of sin that grows to lust David and Bathsheba already knew The fire that burned within would ****** trust Keep not hidden this flame that tempts thy soul Cast out the embers that cause thee to fail Why keep a flame that thou cannot control? Doth not the embers spread that lead to hell? Temptation comes in many hidden forms The forbidden fruit grows on many trees Why cause the winds to blow that bring life's storms? Rather be content with the gentle breeze Let not the eyes condemn thy very soul Cast out thy lust and keep thy body whole

Forbidden Fruit (Sonnet)
Touch not the heart that doth not beat for you Plant not the seed of sin that grows to lust David and Bathsheba already knew The fire that burned within would ****** trust Keep not hidden this flame that tempts thy soul Cast out the embers that cause thee to fail Why keep a flame that thou cannot control? Doth not the embers spread that lead to hell? Temptation comes in many hidden forms The forbidden fruit grows on many trees Why cause the winds to blow that bring life's storms? Rather be content with the gentle breeze Let not the eyes condemn thy very soul Cast out thy lust and keep thy body whole
