Forbidden Fruit

My body was like a stiffened scared cat’s

With an arched back

As I thought about the confrontation

With the 6 Ft. Tall man from my past

Golden bronzed skin as though it was

Hand painted by World renowned artisans

Deeply in thought with dreamy glassy eyes

Thinking of all the long conversations we

Had for months from our Ignited Heated Flames

To cooking and Politics

Damn! Why did I still love this him?

I told myself “Never love again”

To do so equals No checkmate, No win

Was it his small traces of sensitivity?

Maybe it was the cute grin he displayed

While his eyes silently summoned me

To come inside his soul

This forbidden fruit was juicy and

Tantalizing to the senses

When I walked through the gateway

That had been previously boarded

Our souls locked and made the sweetest love

I sat in his golden stool where his feelings lived

Here laid his secrets/forbidden fruit

Of all his heart wrenching pain

He’d endured  through the years

Revelations of his triumphs along with his fears

I hadn’t felt this safe in years

Once again I became as confident

As any alluring sex kitten

It was also etched in his voice

That he was also hurting

From our separation

I would have my moment to reach out

My hand in comfort to him

It wouldn’t happen overnight

But I knew this man from my past would

Eventionally once again become mine

And I would become his

What I thought would never be

God had somehow made happen

I was free once again to Love

I relieved the guards that were dispersed

Around my heart of their duty

This love had  endured hardships

I still love him and always will

The bonding of our hearts together

Had been permanently and meticously sealed

Forever

Love never dies but is bold and survives
