Eve
By Ginger Hinson
Mesmerized by
The serpent's lies
Promises of life, power.
Striking beyond temptation
The need seeped, poured
Into her core, yearning ignited
No choice, Just one bite,
One little nibble of sin
To open the universe.
Her teeth sunk into knowledge,
The thrill lasting a moment
Then death knew her name
The realization too much,
Burden's heavy toll pulled
With hands of steel towards
Eclipse, a darkness pressed
Upon her, she had to share.
Share the agony, desperation
Regret consumed, tormented
She handed her love the fruit
Whispering sweet deceit to entice.
Doubt abated by desire's thrall
He trusted, consuming the forbidden
Forever plunging him into despair
