In The Beginning

Just read it for yourself, the title says it all

In The Beginning (2008)

In the beginning

There was nothing.

There was me

And a single tree.

An apple bloomed

From it’s branch;

And I ate

Not just one bite.

The entire thing.

Even the core.

I swallowed it whole.

There was no right;

There was no wrong.

There was only will.

My will became law.

My law became word.

My word became life.

And life became death.

And the tree slowly died.

And from it’s remains

A garden bloomed.

And in this garden

There was a tree.

I then created

Creatures like me.

And they ate from the tree.

The fruit of it’s branch.

Only one bite.

And with knowledge in hand

They called themselves man.

The tree soon died.

And the garden rotted

But man lived on,

In this dead garden

Oh..so unique poem! I love it, but the man lived in his dead garden, because he missed the woman :)

all of your writing tells a story.
something I could never get tired of.
you have talent, keep it up.

Man aspires to be like god, but we destroy much more than we create. Nicely written.

[Poeticpiers]

As good an explanation as any I have read.But the question still remains who created God

Well, I'm glad to say that you didn't write it as a poem cursing Adam and Eve for eating the apple. I really like how you've just given a portrayal of events. :] It really flows well, and it's just so simple - but a really good simple. :]
