Eve's Confession

Eve’s Confession

I did it.

scrutinizing its treacherously alluring serpentine spirit—

I said I’d do it,

and so,

I sensually seduced the succulent scarlet sin

—for you

I did it to feel—to choose,

to create righteous humanity and wicked humanity and moral ambiguity.

I did it, the crimson crime,

so–life, love and the pursuit of happiness—

would be worth it.

Not so that you can persecute my thoughts

and pervert my body with demoralizing glances

and treacherous command

Not so that you can detain my soul

and rule mater over my choices

and silence my voice

—all because

you blame me for something

I absolutely and undeniably did on purpose

From scarlet and crimson virtue,

and manifested in love—passion—anger—fight

Free will is my gift.

I did it.

so that we could love, phenomenally!

and I will never apologize.
