Forest in a Tree

Why give up an entire forest because of a Tree?
No matter how captivating is thee
Nothing compares to being free
A forest grows not in a tree.

Following branches of lust
Consuming leaves of deceive
Acidic nectar creates rust
Sweet - oh sweet juice I receive!

A tree gestates in my heart
Nine months of carriage -
My soul gladly falls apart
An apple becomes broken courage.

Wooden windpipes sound the air
Ferns and logs dance with chemistry
Barking dogs awaken a fool's flair
A forest grows not in a tree.
