A place for all my poetry, regardless of location in other areas of my portfolio

The Garden of Eden
My silken scales slither down the ancient tree,
Glimpses of slime shimmering in the sun,
To the exotic Eve in this Garden of Eden I wiggle--
Temptation is a dance better not left to chance--
I offer up an apple, red, shiny, and with sweet flesh without flaw,
Knowledge for a bite, a promise eternally broken.

Perhaps she will rule alongside me, leaving Adam behind,
To command her own kingdom, worshipped by all--
I know her, trusting, inside and out, tempers flare--
The fire in my eyes matched only by her reputation--
A marriage made upon the angel's hell, purgatory
Conquered on Earth as my celestial wedded wife.
