Array ( [sid] => 4389 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Eden [time] => 2002-09-28 11:15:00 [hometext] => This is a remake, I had fun writing this, hope you enjoy read. [bodytext] => There beneath the green canopy
Wade the unsuspecting Eve,
Plucking cherries from the tree
In grassy weed below the knees.

Lurking in the shadows of the thicket
Hushed
A serpent in the garden lay
Curled about a mulbery bush...

Even now the pride of heaven is tall
To humble her crown, the time is now
or not ever at all.

From the boughs of his parasol
He came calling , "Eve", he hissed.
Weaving through the grassy tall,
Turning hoops like tumbling halos
"Eve", still he called.

Now, dig if you will, Eve with her finger still
Twisting a lock of hair
Pretty brown eyes, and her body bare,
Propped against the cherry tree

The serpent whispering in her ear
Quietly so as none could overhear
Eve, listing, thinking, thinking still...

In the balance, all of creation hung
If Eve could only temptation shun
Alas, both stood before the cursed tree
Poor maiden once blind could now see

The serpent, as cunning as it's deed
Beguiled Eve, and all of paradise
Bereaved. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 192 [topic] => 11 [informant] => gitty [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

There beneath the green canopy
Wade the unsuspecting Eve,
Plucking cherries from the tree
In grassy weed below the knees.

Lurking in the shadows of the thicket

A serpent in the garden lay
Curled about a mulbery bush...

To humble her crown, the time is now

Turning hoops like tumbling halos

Alas, both stood before the cursed tree
Poor maiden once blind could now see

The serpent, as cunning as it's deed
Beguiled Eve, and all of paradise
Bereaved.
