The Forbidden Fruit

Just a poem about a guy that I like, but can not have. Just wanted to wright about it to get it off my mind and onto paper. (AS FOR PEOPLE I KNOW, you might not want to read this. It reveals a side of me that you might find odd and obscure.)

The man who is undesired by most is the one that I crave.

Late at night my fingers wander and I tell them to behave.

He is the forbidden fruit, the taboo of my being.

I must resist all temptation and run away, fleeing.

It doesn't make sense, to me or to mases.

I'll think of someone else in these long, tall grasses. . .

I can't stop thinking of him, he's here in my mind!

I just want to relax, lie loose, and unwind.

He haunts my thoughts, from the dusk until dawn.

Even longer than that! This is where I say, "Oh come on!"

My speech turns to sludge, my words run dry.

Makes me confused, "Why do I love this guy?"

He can be rude, conceited, bigheaded, and narcissistic,

So much sometimes he makes me go ballistic.

But there are times he's nectarous, companionable, sympathetic, and dear.

And I find it funny i've only noticed it this year.

My ways of thinking have turned alike to Gelato in the summer,

melting fast as the kid who holds it say's, "bummer".

Something about the way he talks and moves,

is something that my deep desires unmistakably approves.

Ofcourse this is only an infatuiation.

Another word for a very sexy sensation.

I'll tie myself down, tighten my binds, and chain my wild emotions,

Bundle up my impluses, and gag my inconsiderable notions.

Then i'll stop pretending that one day he'll give me penetration,

and then i'll just except that this is all just harmless flirtation.

But for right now i'll just release all this sexual frustration

onto something that gives only some slight vibration.

10's across the board!
Really loved the ending. I REALLY didn't expect it. Never saw it coming, and wen it did come, the image you elicited; as you forced us to flashback to those 'tall grasses...' was quite interesting to say the least. The rhythm of the piece is buoyed by the playful rhyme scheme.

...hey, this ones going to my favs!

I loved this.
This one is one of the best I've read so far. I had to look up that Gelato part. But I got it afterward.
That last line made me laugh. Kinda cute in a weird way? ;)
^o.o^ kudos (:

I loved the last line and it made me chuckle inside.
I think you got it bad for this fellow. It wasn't quite erotic
but it wasn't flowers in a field......somewhere in between.
I liked it anyway and think I'll ad it to my fav's

Thanks for sharing.

Quite the potent piece you've got written here. Attractions happen for the strangest reasons sometimes, and from them can be born poems of such passion as this.
