Nothing So Sweet As Forbidden

The man is kind and sweet and smart,
and his word was rock steady,
his advice ever sound...
and one day he turned
and found himself laughing
into the last pair of eyes
he ever should have seen.
And it took no time
for spark to blaze
for hunger to turn to
a white hot torment
only soothed by her touch.
He fell into pure satin
and sweet cries
and madness.
And when she left
it should have been salvation
might have been
had he not tasted
that special fruit,
and now he see her eyes
feels her when he moves
and while he knows what is,
and what is not
some nights he would sell his soul
for one last drop
of her taste.
I know friends who say
they would trade all for one night---
one hour---
to know what it would be.
And then I see his eyes
and wonder if it is not better,
to never know at all.
