Of Darkness And Light



.........................

My shadow and reflection
Come out to fight -
One born of darkness,
One born of light.


One says, "Do it,
Life is too short."
One says, "You're in love.
Are you not?"


Did Eve love Adam,
This I wonder,
When she ate the apple
In total surrender.


And will I - her descendant,
Follow this heathen?
Or have I learned
From the ruins of Eden?
