Sinful Picnic

Hand in hand, traversing this garden bare feet felt the tingle of grass and vine emerald green and lively sprawling growth delicate breeze gently blew swaying branches leaves danced in rhythmic praise to the elements Flowers fragrant, lovely....vivid hues mocked the leaves dance in turn and tempo Reigning over stems, thorned and anchored A symphony of unison, harmoniously perfect Swirling sky of ominous orange and indigo Setting sun paints its final portrait before conceding to the galaxy's window Littered with sprawling clouds reflecting last touch of light Birds of prey savored this opportunistic backdrop Upon this tree's final gift of shade We lay naked, natural as the world surrounding Running fingers through your tussled tresses Eyes locked and searching...intercepting each others thoughts Through emerald blades, slithered and hissed Serpent made way to our dissipating shade Sly forked tongue, yellow eyes, pupils slits....hissing Laughing with ridicule and spite, promising euphoria Offering unseen bliss, inviting demise She peered upward past my down turned gaze Searching out the gifts this tree bared Fear struck my heart as she licked her supple lips Her teeth sunk in...Juice mist sprayed with her savoring a forbidden bite...eyes glazed with ecstasy My soul shook as her lips met mine Sweet nectar running over our mouths mingled Frantically I drank her kiss, lusting Retracting only to devour our exquisite fruit Rejoined embrace, tongues darting hungrily Beneath this tree we lay, intertwined and sated Glowing in sinful reminisce...eyes locked and searching The leaves above empty and sorrowed We lay amongst a sea of eaten cores......

wow, this one wins for best IMAGERY. And I loved how you made it sound , that true "lust and sex" began with the apple. In the end, there would have been no world if they had remained "sinless" in the garden. I love how you seem to have "gotten that." This is most deserving of a win. LUv, andrea

This is a really pretty poem. I love the images at the beginning especially (ominous orange and indigo... littered with sprawling clouds) I wrote about the same thing in Immortal Siren... but not the lust part... haha

Steve, how vividly you recall the garden of Eden that sheds its fruit when man sins. Sharp, intriguing images! Well done! And thanks for reading "Feline Survivor." I agree with your thoughts on how dispose of negligent pet owners. Best wishes, Carolyn

Christie...I'm not a Biblical guy...despite my obvious metaphor here....but I think I read somewhere that the "forbidded fruit" was believed to be a fig. I've never actually tried a fresh fig...but I do really lhought I woulike fig newtons. I'm not sure what that means...but I thought I would share that with you! = ) Thank you for the kind words! Much love, Steve
