Red

one day, plain like any other day
he was expecting night to bring the dark
and rest; instead he started seeing
that a long forgotten apple turned to red.
he did not know the name of colors
it was HIM who told him it was "red"
then everything around him
started changing and the light
seemed to give birth to colors
lively and so strong they could not be ignored.
he bit the apple and decided he will pay
for his grave sin of seeing
what was not destined to be seen.
she came around, but after he had made his mind
and smoothly moved around him, like a snake
she hugged him and she sealed the deal
with a red kiss that landed on his lips.
