Love is like a green apple
Juicy
Delicious
Mouthwatering,
Tasty
and
Tempting.
Life is like a green apple
Sweet,
Sour,
Delicate
and
Tough
Within it's peelings.
Every time I see
A green apple,
I want
To take a bite,
I want
To savor the juice
And devour it to the seed.
And yet,
When the apple is gone,
The peelings discarded,
The juice, blotted up,
And the seeds thrown to ground,
I always find myself
Craving still another.
For one apple
Is never enough for me
I am greedy
And eternally hungry,
Continually wanting
To fill my belly
With more.
Ordinary apples
Rarely interest me
I don't know why,
Maybe I am strange
Maybe I am odd,
But my mouth does not water
For the taste of red.
But green apples
Ah!
They call my name
In the middle of night
In the heat of the day,
They beckon me
With memories.
I sink my teeth
Into their juicy flesh
And smile
Savoring the tartness
That comes with the sweet,
But I am insatiable,
Devouring slowly, finishing the last
At the same time looking around
For the next
green apple...............
