Poisonous Fruits and Venomous Drinks

Poisonous Fruits and Venomous Drinks

A Poem by Andre Waters II
"

A garden so peaceful, Even Eve would take another bite.

"
I'm awaken and bruised
Fresh holes in my shoes
Surrounded by a garden in bloom.
A garden Adam and Eve would've approved
But something doesn't feel so pleasing
A look around disbelieving
All that is here is really relieving
And while the plants are evergreen
There's the strangest fruit I've ever seen
I'm not so sure
Of this one, looking too pure.
This one looks more
Than a delicious cure.

I fight with the inner me
To take a bite or let it be.
He tires and sickens me
even in a place full of peace
So I shunned him out of my body
Dividing us in two.
I walk over to the fruit
And pick it up as my emotion grows jolly
The inner me yells "I warned you."
From across the room.
I Ignored, and bit into my desire
And then the chemicals began trigger like a trip wire.
My body shakes and drops,
Hitting the floor in a flop
My eyes spin on their own,
My lungs turn to stone.
The forbidden fruit enters as I'm grounded alone.

Seeking any antidote
Thriving for refreshment as I choke
My thirst grows as the cotton in my throat
The pond is all but near
Crawling am I, looking for anything to cope
With the deathly poison, any liquid to soak
And my mouth begins to fill with soap.
Finally, I've reached the pond
Full of any drink I can imagine to fond
But I made the mistake twice over
As I drink, in an instant,
The venom kicks in.
My bloodstream tainted
With the deadliest of medicine
I've fallen, I've fainted
Wonderless in deadly land
As I lay dying, I warn you of the trouble on the brink
of this land, Poisonous Fruits and Venomous drinks.
