ripe fruit

Fruit is ripening on the vine
will it be picked in time
ripe fruit,    never been picked
ripe fruit,    never been tasted
never tasted lips of anothers kiss
fragrant, juicy, round and sweet
come and taste, I entreat
Fruit falling, full on the vine
come quick, we're running out of time
ripe fruit,    never been picked
ripe fruit,    never been tasted
ripe fruit, never touched by lips
ripe fruit, aching to be known
slowly savored or swallowed whole
ripe fruit,
longing to taste lips that are tasting it
