Like Adam and Eve
When we met so long ago in Eden
We knew then it was not to be hi and bye
True, we did try our best
To be at our very best
But now many a text and chat
Have now led us back to Eden
I got your new text
We need to chat
Code for you know what
For this and that
Meet me in Eden
This is the last time
This has to stop
I text you back
It will not be easy to let you go
The path I must now take
Will lead to loss and pain and such ache
In Eden lies a warm kiss, hugs
And so much more
The moon the star and the heat of the sun
I know deep down, oh so much to fear
A lot to lose
I fear that I feel their dare
That they talk about us
When we turn our ears away
This is the very very last time
I will take your text
Join with you in chat
Many a time have I said that
Yet here we are once more
The call of Eden
Too deep for us to deny
Wait for me...I just can't stay way!
Oh sin, where is thy balm?
Oh Hell gate, open now for me.

Novel, I am at a constant awe for your way with words! I love the overall mood of foreboding and yet sinfully good sensations that come to mind when I read this! Such a genius move going for the Adam and Eve angle, unbelievably clever! Loved this!!
Oh, this is something I've been through before. Your poem resonated so deeply with me! I absolutely loved it!
This is such a clever and interesting take on the challenge. Well done

Sensual, Alluring, Forbidden... Oh, what a text chat can start. 💜😲💜
Great job on this one, Novel ❤️😉💯
Wow, forbidden fruit and deliciously dysfunctional love. This is the most creative take I’ve seen on the challenge.
I love the juxtaposition between the garden of Eden and modern-day texting… lol, this is so clever and fresh! Well done! 👏🏼
