Forbidden Fancy
sssshhh be quiet look right up the alley just behind the corner through the gates of wrath swathed in the disciples of a moralistic canvas lies a forbidden fancy
temptation pulls at your lust strings envisioning hidden treasures packed and overflowing with rich delights too delicious to eat all at once
sacrificing security of the unknown
fearful of unleashing untold risks destruction of the moral fiber loosely sewn and deliberately unfastened just so slightly to allow the hot breath to escape
knowing full well of the consequences
falling gleefully through the exposed traps that could alter one’s protected future wreaking havoc of changing the expected course
but you enter anyway for what lies beyond is pure ecstasy of the kind only fairytales espouse
a hidden gem that shines so gloriously bright intoxicating- drawing in only the strongest of hearts and minds
a reward of just desserts
WHAT are you waiting for?
