Eve

Eve ... You yearn to pluck with utmost haste The fruit on the forbidden tree. The urge is great, resistance hurts The ache is so unbearable. Eve ... You gaze and wish to hold and taste The fruit on the forbidden tree. But once you bite, the bubble bursts. Is this one act forgivable?

Good morning Andrea. In the case of the first Eve, there is not much that can be done...the die is cast; but there are other Eves who get duped too easily in life, and this poem takes a look at them, in a way. Thanks for the lovely visit. // paul

Dear Paul: Very nice fore thoughts in a brief passage. Reminds of the chicken and egg analogy. Or as Hamlet says: "To be or not to be..." I have a few new haiku lines. Take a look. Leon

I love this poem...Its as Eve is the dilhema which lingers between the conscience of the soul and the fires within the body of humankind...Its like tthe tempting apple seducing the new Eve within our being.Profound indeed! Tnks for reading my simple verse..much appreciated
