The Last One

As I look at you lovely one
With the slight blush from the sun

The touch of gold is the magic 
That draws many to taste of

The lusious fruit 
That could be tragic

If once bitten find 
That the other side 

Is smitten with a place
That is hidden

The other side is brown,
Soft, off scented, rotten

The last peach why
Did this have to happen

illusions of golden lusciousness when in reality a hidden core of rotten peach awaits one who dares to bite. Reminds me of Eve and her apple. Take a bite and learn of dire consequences. Beautiful write Sara. Offers a lot for me to ponder:) -Yoni
