Scrumptious, the forbidden fruit Soft to the touch Appetizing to the eyes Intoxicating to breathe in Melts in the mouth Addictive from the first bite As sweet nectar touch the taste buds Melting on the tongue A flow of the succulent fruit Satiated from licking the last drop Juiciest fruit hidden in the jungle Will […]
