~ THE GARDEN OF EDEN ~

Naked in the lush green of the Garden Of Eden
Just after the breath of life
There was a pause, a holy hesitation, when questions
Wielded with feverish blades of innocence
Questions aimed straight at the heart of man, catastrophic
Changes for femininity, warring, terrified masculinity
Daggers darting straight into obscurity, and possibilities
Rampantly running through the minds of naked warriors`
Wondering what it meant to understand, to be
In the midst of this conflagration
Evil on the outskirts, peering in..... on Eve,
Blindly catching raindrops in her mind, the thunderous
INVITATION
Can you manage this?
The chaos answered her with a plan
Lurking lizards in the playground, creeping closer to the man
Whispering delightful insinuations, sliding ominous laughter
Into his hands, the fruit of mistaken manipulation
The unbreakable charm of
Evil's subtle sweetness in her hands
More than he could taste, or feel,
Or possibly defend, in his innocence
There was heard a hiss, before evil began
The master plan
And in her hands, confusion ran
Adam, (the apple)
"Take a bite of this
And be a man"......
