Whats happening?
What was once green and fruitful, is turning ripe.
But I am forbidden, and so are you.

I cant help but fall...but maybe its not you.
Its not you .thats making me fall. It could be anyone.
We all want that which we cannot have.

We lust for danger. We lust for that which we shouldn't touch.
But I did touch you, and you...
Was it my heart? Or was it a coincidence?

Maybe it could have been any other person,
Maybe it could have been me?
Maybe its because I haven't been in touch with me.

I want to dance the night away.
Alone.
But I like company.

All fruits ripen.
So it's a matter of time until you ripen as well.
But how can I preserve you forever?

I love you. And you love me.
I don't want you to ripen,
Yet...you're not helping yourself.

Ive tried...I still am. But i'm tired.
Ive crossed no lines, yet made connections.
But i don't want to give up.

Am I Adam; in a garden only allowed to touch one fruit?
Am I Eve; tempted to try out new things.
Am I Lucifer; only satisfied when all else collapses around me.

I want to dance the night away.
Light a cigarette on the bridge.
I want to be alone.

Not because i want to.
But because you wont understand...
You wont understand me, you'll label me.

Im cruel: You're right.
Im harsh: You've got it.
Im unworthy: Im sorry.

Im the father of my own sins,
Im the son of my own darkness,
Im the spirit of my own demise.

This is forbidden;
You and I.
Like the moon and the sun sharing the same sky.
Our hands weren't meant to touch,
But they did,
And in that moment it all became too much.

We are forbidden;
You and I.
We are the reason Angels cry.
Our lips weren't meant to meet,
But they did,
And nothing else could ever taste as sweet.

We are the ones who planted the forbidden fruit.
Don’t fight it-- Let the seed of desire and sin take root.
We have tasted the knowledge,
Good and bad,
We have left the garden, for good, only to remain unfed.

You and I are forbidden.
Outcasts, lepers, and rejects.
We are the fruit you so humbly deny.
We are the everlasting sigh.

The fruit that grows from our tangled limbs are sweet and ripe.
The leaves that sprout from our hearts are twisted and right.

Taste us.
Taste us.
Taste us.

Some of us, few of us,
Maybe he and  you,
and certainly me too,

Carve our worlds,
Different worlds,
Wanting, desiring,
Seeking the different.

Dark, gloriously different,
Decadent, wild and free,
beautiful to you and me.

Something elusive,  exotic and maybe ******,
mysteriously something out of the ordinary.

Sometimes we find it,
Sometimes we do not,
And we continue seeking the different,
It’s so achingly sought.

Never have I ever dreamed to be the other,
that choice doesn't seem to be so clever.
Never have I ever fell head over heels for a person,
that feeling definitely runs out all sorts of reasons.

Never have I ever offered my heart and soul to anyone,
But I did because I know that for me you're the only one.
Never have I ever confessed my hearts desires,
But I still did because you're the reason I'm inspired.

Never have I ever wrote poems about love,
Now I did because you're the one I want to have.
Never have I ever hoped to be neglected and ignored,
Now I can't refuse because you are the human I adored.

Never have I ever loved someone like you,
It may sound improbable but it is true.
Never have I ever been as candid of what I feel,
It is indeed making it feel surreal.

Yesterday a forbidden offer was made,
Her heart and soul were set to trade.
Her repressed desires are now expressed.
Will this forbidden offer bring her regrets?

She can't decipher what's in his mind.
Did he know that this love made her blind?
She longs for his love before he ever knew.
Little did he know that her love is true.

She swore to herself that she will never be this way.
A girl who steals someone else's happiness away.
But she was betrayed by her heart's own desire.
How do you stop loving that burns rapidly with fire?

The slightest touch of his hand can make her heart race,
She wonders for a hug and a kiss, what will be the case?
A part of this offer was sharing what they called love.
Is it called making love, if she's the only one who loves?

She is willing to take all the risks this offer will make.
Because deepest regrets are from paths we didn't take.
Needless to say, she will never force him to feel the same.
For she already knew that she's the only one to blame.

She told him that the offer is not valid forever,
And she was aware that the answer may be "never".
The faintest of hope that he will realize someday,
Maybe just right before her heart dies away.

Love is you walking slowly into the room,
Smiling gently as I glanced at you.
Love is when you listen to my jokes,
With that sarcastic "okay" from you.
Love is when I miss you all the time,
Even when you were just around.
Love is whenever time stood still,
When I watch you laugh out loud.
Love is when I don't  even care,
What other people might say.
Love is when I know you're not mine,
But still, you know I am yours.
Love is when I can't spell how I feel,
But it doesn't make it any less real.
Love is me trying to run away,
But then my heart decided to stay.
Love is when you told me to think,
But I got lost with your wink.
Love is when I know I'll never win,
But still, I betted "ALL-IN".
Love is when we accidentally touched,
And how I felt that spark charged.
Love is when you hold my hand tight,
Wishing I'll never forget that sight.
Love is doing all my very best,
Knowing I'll never Ace your test.
Love is dreaming wide awake,
For in my dreams I'm yours to take.
Love is you.
Love is your smile.
Love is your laugh.
Love is your constant "hmmm's"
Love is your name, that I can never give away.

He is fire
But that fire could be perfect fit for hell

Well,

don’t be tempted by the devil
Our kind of dance
would be forbidden whatsoever

Only if the devil agreed and took me to his chambers
loved me and cherished my existence

But he did not see, nor did he hear
He left me hanging to my tears

My desire was forbidden
The fruit on the tree
I was told that the fruit on that tree was too good to be eaten by someone like me
I reached up anyway and picked the forbidden fruit from that tree
I unapologetically bit into it to find out that it was so ******* sweet that I dropped to my knees and let the sensations to follow take over me
As its sweetness had casted a spell on my body people told me of its sin
I could never understand why what was so sweet to me could be considered bitter and rotten by those who claimed they only want what is best for me
Perhaps they are scared, and it has kept them from trying it
Perhaps I’ve known so much bitter that I had been dying to have it

And you know I truly love you
Reckless child, that's what I am.
Nonetheless,you know my heart is real
Unrequited love that's what it seems
Loving you was worth the risks
Find me in another life
One day, when the time is right.

Please forgive me for feeling this way
And for dreaming that we could run away.
Just let me love you in my own way,
And then I will slowly fade away.
Radiant and irresistible that's what you are,
In my heart, you'll remain every tick of the hour.
Let me love you as long as the sun rises in the east,
Longing for your love as long as it sets to the west.
On the other side of this life, I wish that we will never be apart.
This poem is for a man I truly love but can never be mine.
