La Dolce Vita

She may have cursed us all into eternal damnation;
But I think she was on to something…
Or rather she was helpless to it all,
What’s a girl to do in the face of sweet temptation!
That forbidden yet juicy apple must have been worth the pain,
We all try to ignore it or run away from it,
Hot on our heels we run then around the corner;
We bump into this menacing temptation!
And it knows that you’re trying so hard to keep away!
I guess there aren’t enough dark corners in the world…

So here I am; facing this conniving serpent!
All those years spent running and hiding,
Have culminated to this moment of truth…
The moment when I realize I can no longer run!
There she was dangling this fruit so ripe and juicy,
I’m left with only two choices:
Walk away and then spend my entire life in purgatory!
The purgatory of wondering what could have been…
No! I refuse to live like that! I cannot live like that.

So I grab the apple and take a bite! A big juicy bite!
I find myself indulging greedily on this sweet temptation,
Shoving it down my throat, entranced by this fruit so forbidden,
This feeling I cannot describe; myriads emotions exploding simultaneously!
Every inch of my being is ecstatic; overwhelmed by this twisted satisfaction,
Engulfed in the depths of passion; I find myself helpless to its supremacy,

I heard that the road to hell was paved with good intentions…
Well I beg to differ; it must be paved with lustful gluttony!
Every bite I took sprung me closer to these flames of liberation,
So intense is this heat there is no room for cowardice,
I give in to it; my wall of resistance all torn down…
So fulfilling is this moment; the culmination of all my fears,
Turns out to be an orgy of a thousand emotions in an orchestra,
Where Love is the conductor; their music so mind blowing!
Starts of in a soothing manner; where all the flutes play,
Then the strings come in and they hit the cymbals now and then,
Then the drums and bass intrude in a manner so smooth,
Enslaved by this music; the crescendo so overwhelming!
I drown myself in the ecstasy of this sweet temptation,
My entire being drunk from enchantment,
And relished by this lascivious rhapsody
