i’m sad
Jessie 6.24.17
Forbidden Fruit
I am like Eve
Careless
And naive
In the sense that I am in love
With what’s foreign and forbidden
There are stories about Her in the Holy book
That He cautioned her to stray from the forbidden fruit
He cautioned me to stray from the forbidden fruit for I’d be punished
He ensure that she be with Adam–
But what if I don’t want to be with Adam
His temptation far from sweet
Maybe I want the taste of the fruit lingering on my tongue
I want the evidence of the sweet juice dripping down my bottom lip as He frowns upon my sin
I want to smile with the pulp covering my lipsHe punished Eve for trying the fruit
And I’ve already taken a bite
But He won’t punish me for pulling back her layers and tasting everything she has to offer
For running my tongue curiously through the succulent pulp
Her nectar on my fingers
And my hands exploring the texture of her surface
How dare He tell me I can’t try new things
Especially when her vines wrap around my skin, pulling me in
I want a taste of the forbidden fruit
And if I have to go to hell as a result
He can send me on my way now
Because I’ve already been in heaven
