Poem about the aftermath of forbidden love.

Into the garden they both descended,

Looking to taste the forbidden fruit.

Ecstasy wrapped their minds in delight

Forgetting soon all boundaries good.

Honey and sweetness erased from their lips

Satiated were their naked bodies,

Feelings of wrong invaded their souls

The moon had lost its shine and glory.

Shame grew reflected deep in their eyes,

Green turned to moss,

Red turned to rust,

Paradise lost, that day something died.

If they could erase the moment of sin,

They would go back and make it all right,

Never too late for forgiveness, ask,

Hoping one day to gain it all back.

I liked the flow of words. The desriptive images caught the moods of shame often associated with the forbidden fruit tasted by Adam and Eve.

Very well done Marie!

Paints a vivid picture of man’s first fall.

A good reminder of that first sin. Well done.

That first sin of disobedience,was taking the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and bad.They were already given the command to go and be fruitful,so the act of sex was not the sin.Plus God had brought them together as man and wife,so its hard to imagine him telling them to be fruitful and fill the earth and then go and punish them.But then there was a third entity involved in there,the father of the lie,and he is wrecking havoc up the earth today,just as he did back then….very well written poemhere and again it makes one really think…choice…

Paradise lost for a few moments of ecstasy not the best of trades.

I don’t think Adam and Eve engaged in anything forbidden. I believe that has been given to the rest of us to deal with. Your poetry captured it nicely although not all feel the guilt.

Love has boundaries? I would like to think it doesn’t
