Forbidden Fruit

Daily I run the miles to success in anticipation
But again I missed the chariots of heaven

The roads are now infinite and serpentine
Alas my bravery is once again quarantine

I lie in wait for the commoners wheels
It comes here but there is no place for a heel

I strive to retain my sanity again
But none are there to heal my pain

I tread on the path to a downtrodden glory
Wonder sets in to ask if it is only my story

Finally the wheels screech to a halt
I manage a glimpse of heaven woken with a jolt

Yes I have reached my coveted cushy haven
Battered and bruised almost like a fawn

Alas the time has clocked nine
There is no food and there is no wine

Fuming and seething I sit as hungry as a tiger
Waiting for time to emerge a fighter

Alas my conscience has gone awry
Bear with me as I devour the forbidden for my hunger to satisfy.......
