Forbidden Fruit
a yearning for a lover who spits you out like a seed.
Forever suspended while you dance on my lips.
Opening our mouths
Removing the stem.
Begging to be consumed, crafted into a knot.
Infinitely spit out like a trick
Desire fades
Deception seeps in.
Enviable of their distance
Naïve to unspoken intentions.
muddled, we search for our cherry in a sea of Fantasy

we carry on in a ____________________Trance
About the Creator
Olivia Macbeth
one swoop the wind picked up everything in it's path. the little worms that creep from the soil after it rains, the stranger who kicks their feet with childlike innocence. the quirky, horrific, intoxicating moments of life dance in my mind

Love the creativity in this Olivia, and the references to a cherry threaded throughout. “Begging to be consumed, crafted into a knot.” is a great line 👏🏾
Congrats on Top Story! :)
Congratulations on Top Story! 🥳 I've never seen an acrostic created like this and I love it. Might have to lean into that formatting myself! Loved your poem. Powerful twists and turned.
Enjoyed this style of poetry - nicely done!
Great job on your acrostic! ❣️
