Satan's Apple

I wonder if God hates cowards, for My sins mushroom near Satan's apple I live and die in my own filth No human or angel treads Near my Mandragora hub Its narcotism excites my senses Uncotrollable erotic desires Grip me in its poisonous beauty I surfeit in my inhumane pleasures No saviour can save me From my aphrodisiac pleasures The spell I cast on all trespassers To join me in my hell Whether now or later, I'll trap you Whether now or later, I'll trap you April 21, 2016 For Rob Carmack Inspired by Tom Hawks' song, 'God Hates Cowards' Mandrakes/ Satan's apple are the fruit of the Mandragora . The plant is known as an aphrodisiac.

Remind me never to go apple picking with you Baleen. Nicely done although "nice" is not a word that apples to the depth of this sinful write. Congrats on the placement

Powerfully impressive. "My sins mushroom near Satan's apple" Like from the darkness of it's shadow and from the soil of our works. Thank you Balveen and congrats.
