Poetry Has Accepted Me Back :D

For months now, I haven't been able to write poetry. These two pieces though imperfect and probably not properly edited are my guide back to my world. Please take these two as they are... :) *The Forbidden Fruit* I have held you close for a while The glow of your smile Has been stuck on my tormented mind Are you still my find? You brownskin girl I wonder Or do you belong to the soul Who currently holds your hand Along this life's busy streets? The ghosts of you Deliberately haunt my loneliest nights I have these never-ending hallucinations Of me, dying to taste your full lips I stretch to find the comfort Your delicate arms keeps Only to score the cold sheets Waiting on the other edge of my bed. The sound of your voice Echos from the depths of my heart I can still hear the ripples of your whispers Dismantling everything I know While carrying me through distant dawns Is it wild That I want you for myself Even though you are a forbidden fruit? ************************************************* *UnTitLeD* There is a secret yearning buried deep One that carefully sneaks into the light Once in a while To remind my reluctant bones That I am alive. It willingly follows The light tucked behind her sad beautiful eyes As they effortlessly draw my fears From the dungeons of my past experiences Like it can cleanse their transgressions. It eyes her caramel skin Calling on these desires sealed within I have felt my itching fingers crave To feed on her tenderness Like the morning sun drinking up the dew.
