Man and Woman

Man lived in the garden by the Euphrates He loved the bone of his bone gifted from his father Woman believed the first lie that seemed sweeter than honey Told by an innocent-looking serpent that was unable to speak Under the tree in the middle of the garden The fruit irresistibly swung in the breeze Freedom from God that was what Woman longed for Man’s fear of losing Woman was stronger than his love for her Woman shared the deceptive hope with Man But Man knew that Woman believed the lie They left their source of life They lost the garden They lost all hope They were waiting to return to dust Which was the only comfort against their suffering The definition of love has been fading away Since the beginning of human history The cruelest emotion Pain and sorrow has been existing Under the most confusing word, “Love”
