Ah, the Apple
sweet, forbidden
fruit. Temptation
hangs red-hot red,
juicy, a taste
of desire, curved,
crisp, glistening
flesh-mound ripe,
peeling passion bare,
seed planted, grown huge.
Harvest time, reaping
sin, no stemming the tide,
sword flaming, reaching
to the center of truth,
blessed paradise
