dream-time mirage
walkabout in garden primeval
to awake, shaking his head
wondering if the pleasure
of sin
is really as good
as it sounds
His eyes open to music,
serpents hiss and drip
taste of agave in his mouth
and regrets in his heart

sin always leaves regrets in the heart.
ReplyDeleteI like your waking-up-after angle very much.
ReplyDeleteNice capture of "morning-after"...
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more regrets... Great poem!
ReplyDeleteI like your poem. (Unlike Sean, however, I certainly don't wish I had more regrets.)
ReplyDelete"Taste of agave" still sounds prickly to me, although I realize agave nectar is sweet, so I am left wondering which you meant.

PS Tried to leave a comment here yesterday - but couldn't due to (yet more) blogger problems.
It isn't sin if you enjoyed it and never mind that morning after feeling.
ReplyDeleteFor sin doth e'er leave ye the bitter tastes, sweetness scorched.
