Challenge
It is FALL, my dudes!
Write something *aesthetic* that gets you in the autumn spirit ;)
Apples Under A Harvest Moon
A pale-eyed goddess casts carmine light on my crimson desire
Hanging close enough to tempt and be tempted
Three strikes and my arm snatches the prey
Rotten promises squelch beneath my feet
Serpent and Eve live as one, happy with our prize
Blemished, yet alluring all the same
Teeth break the skin
Knowledge drips down my face
It’s intoxicating, so sweet and tart and crisp
Again
Again
Again
I strike and bite and pull flesh from its body
I’ve never tasted anything better
It’s over, yet I can’t stop
Sucking juices from it
Till the core slips through my fingers
Falling to the feet of its father
My sticky hands bear a guilty shine
Under the goddess’s all-seeing eye
