Daniel Cheeseman Poet Rhyme

Directions Please

Oh Eden deep within
Shall I taste of mortal sin
Taste the fruit you offer me
Be subservient to your imfamy

Or do I restrain from yearning
Succumb to histories learning
Live in peace with fellow man
Be as done and do as can

Eden the cravings tempting
Sin it pulls and unrelenting
Serpents tongue has my ears
Whispers low, plays my fears

Yet he light, the pull is strong
Voice is mellow and full of song
Finds me kind and pure of heart
Heeds my soul and dark depart

Confused in life I stumble on
In dark or light I am but one
Conscience talks do I listen
As that tree and apple glisten

Carolyn Devonshire February 2, 2010 at 1:46 PM The temptations are many, Daniel. "Serpent's tongue has my ears" is a great line. We listen, but hopefully our conscience helps us to make the right choices. Very thought-provoking poem! Love, Carolyn
