The Sprigs and Spirit of Sistine -2

I'm known as the serpent but I have a name wise and wonderful too, I loved Adam well before Eve came into being I remember how his first sunset scared him I ate grapes with him as roses bloomed at dawn, watching them hold hands hurts me, seeing them kiss with fervor makes me sick with seething sorrow, look at her shy stupidity how eager she is for his arms, she's so voluptuous and smooth, no, I won't let this excuse for love go on, Hello Eve, it's nice to see you happy, how is Adam staying busy... Oh, Adam is searching for a gift to give me, he calls it a jewel, says it glimmers like a star... Hmmmm, he always knew how to find the neatest things... We feel so safe and strong together... That's great Eve, tell me, what's your favorite food here, in this garden... Oh, the pears are heaven... Have you ever tried the apple... Well no, Father said no way, Adam and I mustn't eat of it, the apple could get us into trouble, serious trouble... Why... Father isn't always clear, but He said something about good and evil, innocence and suffering, I don't know, it doesn't matter, we would never disobey Father... Oh, I understand, He's waiting until you and Adam become smarter, more mature, then He'll share... Geeee, maybe... Well what happens when you eat the other fruits of divine creation... It's incredible, a rush of joy jumps into my mind, I feel electric... The apple is no different, well, except the ecstasy... What's ecstasy... Imagine becoming a glorious star high and heroic, super smart just for a few moments, your Father would never even know... J.A.B.
