Darren Watson Poet Verse

Whole Again

I'm a born again virgin
A model of purity
I'm resisting temptation
and you know how tempting women can be
I'm whole again
Feeling good again
I'm happy being me.

I wasn't looking for an apple
When I met my first Eve
To her delight
I took my first bite
and myself I did deceive
I confused love with love making
and three times every night
Eve offered me the apple
and each time I took a bite.

Falling in love became a habit
and I was happy to take part
but with the dawning of realisation
I was breaking my own heart
I don't believe in cheating
but I do believe in paying my own way
Work became my mistress
and for that I had to pay.

Its been almost six weeks now
Since I reclaimed my virginity
I've bought a new four poster
and chopped down that apple tree
I'm whole again
Feeling good again
and I'm happy being me.
