MoonFruit: A Poem

In honor of the Twitter #Moonfruit contest for a free MacBook Pro, I decided to be creative and wrote a poem:

He sat in the reflected light of the sun, surrounded by the darkness.
His silver hair sparkled like the #moonfruit.
As if he heard my thoughts, he reached into the pale glow of the moonbeams,
And plucked a #moonfruit from its hidden world.

Dare he eat the #moonfruit's forbidden flesh? Dare he discover the secrets within?
Would it be sweet as a strawberry, or sour as a lemon?
Would it be juicy as a pear, or crisp as an apple?
What mysteries are contained within the #Moonfruit that the gods secreted the treasure away?

Did he know? Had he eaten the #moonfruit before?
Was that why he was so unattainable? So different and special?
He turned to my hiding place, knowing where I was.
Just as he knew where the #Moonfruit had been hidden.

He held out the beautiful #moonfruit and beckoned me forward.
Dare I answer his call?
I looked into his eyes of silver fire and dared.
My blood raced through my veins as I heard the echoing call of the #moonfruit

He held the #moonfruit to my lips but would not let me bite.
Know this, he said. You shall know the secrets of the universe and have immortal life.
That is the gift of the #moonfruit
But you shall never find true love.

An impossible choice he presented: To be a goddess or to have my soul complete.
I looked into his eyes and felt the answer within.
I smiled and bit into the wondrous #moonfruit, letting its secrets fill me.
Such joy, such bliss, such power, such love.

My body afire, I reached for him and our lips met in passion.
As two we merged and became one, our souls souring.
We were the #moonfruit, soulmates, friends, lovers, gods.
Meant to be, now and forever.

His laugh filled the emptiness within
And he twirled me around as our happiness burst from within.
By choosing the #moonfruit I'd chosen him
We melted into the moonbeams and loved.
