Candy apple eyes

By beamish

The wide eyes of a candy apple smitten child 

Lustful red wrapped around the serpents tool of destruction

Yes I want a bite

I want to taste what is said to be off limits to me

The juice of desire dripping from my fangs

As I fall from grace 
landing on a bed of carnal soft desires

Now I'll rest under these sheets of sins and lies

Still wondering if god's mistake was creating me

or

was I just too weak to resist her beautiful fire  

Either way I lay open to the universe 

Asking only for direction 

Not redemption

As far as I can see redemption was never meant for me

I don't want to be one of those souls lost in the land of milk and honey

Instead I want to roam the forbidden dreams of fairies and dragons 

Making my own candy covered apple from god's tree of fiery imagination 

My shiny red apple might be the answer to it all

Or just the start of a life where the fall never meets the waiting ground

    Outstanding extended metaphor B and the weakness of the flesh is a temptation beyond all others, when nature calls... Tastefully executed; don't break a tooth :) Cheers! - Dan
