Poisonous Fruit

Folder: 
Romanticism

she's the shape,

ripeness,

i suppose even color you want

and you'll understand

"it's what's inside that counts"

only when you take a bite,

fall back on the bed

and the vultures begin to circle

over your dizzying head

 

poisonous fruit

need draw attraction

visually

but you're the one who sees it

 

see, you're the snake,

the Adam, 

the Eve,

she's just the fruit

that stops your Eden

 

she's the shape,

ripeness,

i suppose even color you want

and you'll understand

..only when you're dead

shortly after you take a bite,

fall back on the bed

and the vultures begin to circle

over your dizzying head

This spellbinding work is one

This spellbinding work is one of the best poetic descriptions of this alluring archetype I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Your femme fatale, "the shape/ ripeness/ i suppose even color you want" lures the reader through some very electrifying, pulsating lines.

 

This would make a wonderful song. I'm hearing it!  

 

A very enjoyable experience.

That was an amazing journey

That was an amazing journey to read and experience (however vicariously, of course) thoughts on dying with tasteful and insightful lift. Thanks for sharing.
