A temptress like that of milk, honey, and ecstasy.
She whispers fainter than flower petals
falling against soft skin.

A enchantress like that of jasmine tea leaves, and precision.
She dances an eternal dance to the sound of the world ending
underneath an apricot tree.

A dutchess like that of peaches n’ cream, and a gentle ruthlessness.
She was the first to grasp onto wisdom and
the first to taste the fruit.

A goddess like that of white wine, and divinity.
She is the envy of men, yearning for that sweet nectar
which drips from her flesh of fruits they’ve been forbidden.

Since the beginning, when Eve bit into the fruit, she craved to be a goddess.
