Aphorism

by Beth - Scorpio


I see you reaching
For that apple
All shiny and waxy
ignoring the more flavoursome peach
perception can be a killer
driving a steely knife
right through the heart of 
your misguided misconception

I see you salivating
it drips inconspicuously from the corner of your cherry red lips
thirsting for the first promising bite

you bite
and it tastes juicy and firm
beyond your wildest expectations
it has you in it's  ripen grip

Shows you a world you had only dreamed of
but you want more
coke covered candy apples
baby has a hunger
it must be satisfied

you strut and preen
the apple made you a star




I wonder....












Did you see the worm?
