The Forbidden Fruit
'Sister', she beckoned to me,
Haunted night and day
By my destiny.
'Take it', he breathlessly whispered in my mind.
Two unlikely allies,
Lovely Sophia and Fallen Lucifer,
To bring woman to her fate,
To wisdom, free will and knowledge.
Lustrous,
In the garish sun,
Adorning the Tree of Knowledge,
A brilliant ornament waiting to be plucked.
The snake, abruptly pushed aside,
And I looked upon Adam's god,
And in his face I saw my fate,
So the apple I took.
I decided my fate.
