In God’s lost garden
one sultry eve
Adam came to me
as I knelt among spent blossoms
beneath the apple tree
I felt his breath upon my neck
as he whispered in my ear
“Sweet Lilith
let me feast on you”
and he drew my body near.
I shivered as I felt his tongue
deftly lick my lobe
and travel down my neck
to seek
the heaven of a milky globe
In innocence I arched my back
seeking his embrace
never dreaming
that his wondrous touch
would lead to my disgrace
I felt his fingers slither down
and I spread my virgin thighs
the ache for him
was building
as I matched his primal cries
I was burning deep inside
for what I had no clue
until he thrust
into my core
and knocked my world askew
He rode me there
beneath the tree
on the petal littered ground
and I gloried in abandon and
the ecstasy I found
As passion shattered into shards
I realized my mistake
I was locked in rapture with
a shrouded
sinful snake.
So weep for me ye mortals
as for heaven you all pray
for God will surly
banish those
by the serpent led astray.
