Descendent of Eve

"Descendent of Eve" by: Eric L. Boddie As she walked through the door, I recall a shortness of breath My heartbeat fluttered, my palms moistened, my mind drew a blank, but no pain was felt My mouth became dry, and my eyes and ears became lost in her motion And with only a glance, the sway of her hips became the muse for my every notion After closer examination, sweat, in the form of a single drip Made its way down my forehead as the glass approached her lips Then, the rumbling of my stomach, the butterflies were on the move Because my eyes had never touched legs that appeared to be oh so smooth I wanted to get up, but I could hear the buckling of my knees And the unmentionable, it was like what happens to water if you let it freeze Now that was many years ago, but like yesterday is what it seems Because ever since that moment, she has been featured in all of my dreams To her sight, I have become addicted, that's the strongest word I can think of For me, it only took a glance, and I, instantly, fell in Love I Love her hair, I Love her toes, don't get me started on the things in between She is God's Greatest Creation, next to Him, her being reigns supreme And now that I'm a man, on her curves, I am still dependent That's the only way I can explain my jealousy of the infant Addiction, desire, infatuation or lust, you can call it whatever you believe But I would go crazy without her, I'm in Love with the descendent of Eve

Great poetry my friend. I too love a certain descendant of Eve. She warms my heart, feeds my soul and make my happiness her desired goal. I am blessed. God gave Adam a MOST beautiful gift. A7
