The forbidden juice🍓
Alone and innocent I cherish the allure of nature.
Being exposed to its beauty,
I couldn't resist the tempting repast.
So, I took a sip of the forbidden juice and walked away.
I had to lobby with the night to hush my crime.
The night promised to obliterate it
and demanded his price.
What do you want? I asked
My tongue, he said.
So, I gave him because my crime frightened me.
He asked for more and took a gulf of my blood.
Does the night remain forever?.
Alas! I saw the dawn from the horizon
His light scared me, and night also panicky.
Oh! Where is my tongue?, I cried?
How will I appease the dawn without my tongue?.
How will I beg the night to return my tongue,
when I can't even speak?.
Haa! I'm doomed.
I began to run and hide in a cave
I can't face the dawn, I lamented.
Who will save me from this peril?.
I broke down in tears, what have i done.
