KENNETH MANTU

The Forbidden Fruit

What more can I say? The ultimate \”clande\” experience…. And we\’ve all had one….


ILLICIT LOVE

Born of a glance, that lasted a moment,

A surge of emotion that reacted so potent,

A whisper of conscience, a nudge from above,

Illicit love

Beauty eternal, spirits on fire,

Damning sensations, burning desire,

The circling vulture, disguised as a dove,

Illicit love

We met in the shadows, laughed in the dark,

She sang by the stream, we walked in the park,

Always and never, she’s all that I’ll have,

Illicit love

She whispers so softly, I hold her so tight,

To music so deftly, we dance by moonlight,

Our time is fast fading, the moon sets above,

Illicit love

She leaves in haste, her man starts calling,

The sun isn’t rising, the rain starts falling,

She fades in the shadows, and leaves but a glove

Illicit love
