Monday, January 24

on a whim.

the apple's advocate

an apple so red and juicy
an apple this inviting by the eye
but be careful of this fruit
for it became the downfall of eve.

do not fear this apple for it cannot bite you
but fear the worm within which tastes just like gall.
you may enjoy the apple
and do so while it lasts
for tomorrow when you cannot find it,
you only have yourself to blame.

do not chastisize me for not being upfront
but you were the apple of my night.
adieu.
