Eve

 

 

Desire appears as subtle and slithery as a snake

Only to later have you banished into exile,

Until the next almost innocent encounter

Creates a myth of origin that you will ultimately pay for.

 

I prayed for you, for your return, like an apostle

Praying for his deliverance from solitude – the original sin!

And your voiced whispered back venomously,

Enticing me to eat from the forbidden fruit, again!

 

Then, knowledge came with the very first touch.

Empirical truth, as self- evident as the polish

Emitting from your snake- skin shoes.

 

Heaven sent, they appeared into my line of vision

Cool and coiling binding me to the fetish,

Till the heels resonated upon the walls, and with godlike echoes.
