Adam’s apple

If I was a man…I’d make my move

Eve’s descendant

As she watches the serpent

Hypnotic sway, tempting her

Mesmerised. Watching. Wanting

Fruit

For her eyes to your hips

Fast slow slow fast faster

Each movement calling out

Screaming to me

Come. Take

Fruit

Your hips, the beat

Working together, intoxicating

Frantically craving

Needing succulent

Fruit

My trembling hands

I would gladly

Paint them on you

If only you would let me

Taste mouth-watering

Fruit

The devil always follows through

You are not so gracious

You’re the hope of bliss and that and

Fruit

Author's Note

And if I was from Paris, if I was from Paris
I would say “Oooh la la la la lala”

"my trembling hands/ i would gladly/ paint them on you"

such a great image...lots of them in this.

the tempting, the imagined lovemaking...but the fruit held back or pulled away.

and to say, you are not as gracious as the devil...wow.

the speaker speaking to the forbidden fruit...oh let me taste, please.

i like the Eden reference in this unrequited love poem.

nice

There is always the element of "blame" to relationships and their intimate moments. The analogy to Eve is interesting considering that she was not created when Adam was told not to eat the fruit. But she, like many other women, have been demonized by those exploiting their gentleness, compassion and yes, weaknesses. I enjoyed this greatly and thank you for it.

[Mia]

Thank you Doc

I just love your quote at the top. Fruit! and... Fruit! haha, this was fun. It's jazzy in it's own way, I can hear chocolate piano sounds in the background.
