Love Poem: Man and Woman

Man and Woman

Man lived in the garden by the Euphrates
He loved the bone of his bone gifted from his father
Woman believed the first lie that seemed sweeter than honey
Told by an innocent-looking serpent that was unable to speak
Under the tree in the middle of the garden
The fruit irresistibly swung in the breeze
Freedom from God that was what Woman longed for
Man’s fear of losing Woman was stronger than his love for her
Woman shared the deceptive hope with Man
But Man knew that Woman believed the lie
They left their source of life
They lost the garden
They lost all hope
They were waiting to return to dust
Which was the only comfort against their suffering
The definition of love has been fading away
Since the beginning of human history
The cruelest emotion
Pain and sorrow has been existing
Under the most confusing word, “Love”
