~Eve~ The Siren

"Beauty is best when Lethal"

Intoxicating black eyes,
Attractively disheveled raven hair,
With an arrogant aquiline nose;
Matched with those sensuous lips..
Body with chiseled features
Paired with broad shoulders..
Clad like a knight- in- shining armour..
He strides towards her in Eden
As the air around him sizzles even...

She watches captivated,eyeing the Serpent..
He entices her as,nobody ever did..
Her entire body shivers with intense need..
Golden hair shines in the light..
Blue gaze brightens at his sight.
Gifted with luscious curves and her foot so light..
She damps her plump lips in wild anticipation.

Grabbing her waist,
He meets her eager gaze..
She is tempted to taste,
The forbidden fruit,
Unable to resist the temptation
She captures his mouth with fierce passion!!

Her tongue strikes his twice
Eve's chastity cuts through
Devil's shrewd malice..
Being ignorant she was the divine antidote..
He cuts down his own root..
Call her two- faced Janus!!
She protected the whole universe,
From the curse on Adam.

Author's Note

The temptress turned the tables.. The poem came to my mind when i read genesis.." what if- Eve had been loyal to God".. Hope you enjoy it.

Wonderful Imagery. i see the action in Eden as i read. Great write Sophy.

[Ashira Macy]

Loved the imagery in this. It is the first poem I have read about Adam and Eve and I must say it was a pleasure to read. You paint a very vivid picture with your words that is a joy to experience.

[Sophy Freebirds]

Thank you again Ashira :) i am going through a really imaginative phase which results in capturing the images.glad you liked it

[J. Land]

Nicely done! You've layered your imagery with compelling details mixed with thoughtful ideas. One of your best!

[Sophy Freebirds]

Thank you so much. :)

[J. K. Beach]

Sophy, this such a wonderful poem! The idea that Eve could have seduced the great seducer is unique, at least to my knowledge. You have woven a complete tapestry of images in this one--the "handsome devil" not being the least... I loved the final triumph--a devil sans tongue would indeed be a boon to humanity... Excellent work!

[Sophy Freebirds]

Wow.. you have a discerning perceptive. Thank you for your kind review JK :)

If we were immortal, there would be no need for sex and beauty. They just traded one for the other. Being eternally alive, but without feeling, is a fate worse than death. Those stone cold gods are envious of our ephemeral butterfly joys.

[Sophy Freebirds]

Agreed.. we would have been unfeeling,soulless creatures. Thanks for your descriptive review. :)

[Aethereal]

Butterflies have every reason,
but to last but for a season.
Just a moment’s all they need
to enjoy life and reseed.

[Sophy Freebirds]

Wow.. your words are lovely. :)

I like the proper use of the Siren. Siren are not nice. They called men to their death in myth and tale.
"Call her two- faced Janus!!
She protected the whole universe,
From the curse on Adam. "
Above lines direct and perfect ending to the amazing poetry.
