The Edge of Darkness

Wiser but still spent!

Where are these fruits

you offered me in Eden?

I took one bite,

one tiny bite of that apple

and now here I am,

stuck between heaven and earth.

Your firm, pert breasts

drizzled the milk

of human kindness,

and I suckled willingly,

while behind those red eyes

was a black and morbid

intention.

Why did I let the devil in?

Why did I become the son

of Satan?

Why did I leave the garden

behind me?

you pose a fair question that has plagued man since the beginning. the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. not always so easy to do the right thing. we live in a sort of pergatory. great read for me. strong imagery, clever, philosophical and deeply entertaining. what else could one ask for ... :)

Life is for learning. You get burned and you know not to do that again. Funny enough, some still do.
