Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
The temptation of Eve in the garden of Eden

Forbidden Fruit

by PENofFIRE

 
The fruit hung there, luscious and ripe
Emitting the sweet fragrance of promise through soft spoken words
Desire had arisen within her for just one taste of the unknown
Juicy, sweet, succulent, forbidden fruit

Look but do not touch; words that festered within
All around her hung sumptuous fruit free for the taking
But freedom lost its flavor and its desire ran cold
Nothing was as appealing as the forbidden

Temptation wove itself into a need
It became a driving force
A voice fueled her desire
Poison dripping from the lips of the Liar

Temptation brought desire to the place of no return
One bite shared, desire died, truth exposed the lie
Her eyes were opened to what she had never known
Now she knew, man knew, we know
