Eve- Poem

Updated: Oct 22, 2023

Eve,


Eve in the leaves

and trees near the lake,

Where her curious eyes

caught her reflection’s own

when she learned what was

...forbidden.


How her breath heated

when she saw

the moon in her chest

and the rubies in her brow.


The water showed her

the long locks of love

that poured from her head

and she felt her own rhythm in the current, taking a bite of fruit

and feeling the flow in her palms

as she defied the gravity of God.


Still she sat near the water,

savoring the sweet juice

pouring from her lips,

and she was satisfied.


There was no serpent

nor man in creation

that could lead her toward desire,

for she took her own hand

in her reflection and gained knowledge;

a love she'd never known.
