Fate of Every Eve
By lostrequiem
Wrapped around the branchesOf that one forbidden treeHe looked at me and called me nearOffered me some ripe red fruit.Untainted knowledge pulsed through my veinsWith that single perfect bite.An endless horizon stretched before me -New awareness heralding limitless possibilities.Then instantly naked and alone, branded withA shame I had never felt.With a shock I was faced with HimAnd condemned our race for all eternity.Today’s serpent winds his wayThrough flashing lights and smoke,Takes my hand and draws me nearAnd offers me small white pills.With a clarity I’ve never knownI rise miles above the pounding musicInvincible, immortal, I fly like an angel.Hoping I’ll never come down.All the world exudes a new beauty.Shines with a blinding glowUntil the lights all fade to blackAnd I plummet into a Hell I can’t escape.One of my favorites; in my opinion, probably the best one I've written with direction (i.e for a designated topic) Written November 11th, 1999 © on Oct 31 2001 07:33 AM PST 0 • 10
