Glamorous Forbidden Fruit
Handsome beauty can be found,
seen through the eyes in lovers.
Repulsive looks, devil grown, assaults your eyes in others.
Private whispers can be shared;
heard in the ear of lovers.
But rote and trite responses are the shrill shouts of others.
Health and life are highly prized:
a goal achieved in lovers.
Sickness and death, the results, caused by design in others.
Glamorous forbidden fruit:
enticing lure in lovers.
Like sharp blades in apples found: plots to destroy in others.
