Adam Meets Eve

The river of snakes
Flowed between her thighs
And through the realms of deception
And into the time of conception
To weaken the man with her sighs.

Awaiting the trial of destruction,
His muscles submit to the snake’s form
Falling beneath and below,
The river continues to flow
And rises as a new master is born.

The promises of illusions cast
Elicits the offers for a son
And loyalty of a heart to be;
Mere seconds trapped in an eternity
Lost in a battle that’s begun.

The venom of predator for the prey
And a hand reaching for Eden's leaf
Struggle against the loss of power,
While growing within the withering flower
The genesis sinks in grief.
