Cider Press - 5. The Apple
The Apple
The apple with the smoothest skin,
such gentle colors blush therein,
which curves with subtle, perfect form,
it must inspire a man to sin.
That beauty's proof against the storm,
through chilly nights and days so warm
as might excite the flesh beneath
and appetites beyond the norm.
Arouse that flesh, it will bequeath
delight within its rosy sheath,
it lingers on the palate's thought,
a thrill to shake the soul and teeth.
This fruit, forbidden have I sought,
but all my hunting is for naught,
for you have set my heart a-spin,
and on my face a blush have wrought.
