"God I'm sorry I ate your apple"

an honest expression of grace

--------------------------------

I did it--it's my responsibility

absolve my children of a debacle

ensuing from their hidden agenda

Lead me on to the invisible star

Why why why does it even matter?

I flushed myself into this place

Honesty would have led elsewhere

& I avoided he whose path I took

steal me back into your embraces

& we'll carry her across deserts

on our exposed sun scorched back

as they see they accept our help

our one-ness no longer threatens

projecting the irony-based guilt

let their magic be in the closet

beaming out into its own essence

I tell people this title stalked me when you first came to the cafe. And it did, I could no more hide from your honest expression of grace than i could stop breathing. I tell people when I introduce them to words like these that I've probably left a dozen reviews. I exaggerate a little sometimes. But I will get there eventually.

I came back to these words and find they have lost none of the depth I first noticed.

love the sense of carrying on and not expecting a great deal
but hoping that honesty helps..let their magic be in the closet

beaming out into its own essence.......great ending.

I came back to read your words again. That's always the way I am. Sneaking in here and there. Reading always reading. These words are special in that they introduced me to you in such a charming way. I'll probably never forget how the title and the image haunted me every time I clicked on the writing tab. No running away from that one.

The truth shall set you free then. *smile* Very impressive. It takes great strength and courage to step forward after all this time. *takes a quiet moment*

So, does this mean we all get to run around naked again?

I ate it. It was good. Sweet, juicy, delicious. And I'm probably not sorry. Yet.

Maybe tomorrow. ;)

I like the honest breast beating feel to this. It sort of sums up the whole human condition. A sort of acceptance being all we have at the end of all the toing and froing. Pleasing on the eye also.

jabbing my finger into the air, ezra pound would be justified in the knowledge and discoursive exuberance of yr rectangular poem. could you have avoided everywhere? was it possible, i mean i am trying to get out, any way i can. into the light (i must tell you that) or this whole review will be a farce. i think i like it. as much as i can like it. it think. keep on keeping on, your friend ...raining well we havent actually met. but i am sure you would like me. so keep up the good work. i will read more of your writing. bye

Great perspective on Eve. It's such a shame how women are demonized, and it wasn't ALL her fault. Oh well, I don't even know.
Anyways, a great and wise write! I agree, your wisdom is genuine!

Extremely true words. Well written and it flowed nicely.
Good write!!
