Finally, I bring you a poem about the Faithless Husband, from his own point of view. (The last time I wrote Casanova from the point of view of the Other Woman) Mind you, since I am no man, I can only jump into the mind of the male and pretend to gnaw at his motives of gong after the Other Woman when he has his own Significant Other at home or at his beck. So for all my male readers, pardon me if I gnaw too deep or scratch on the surface.
Adam’s Apple
Your haughty aloofness Hissed at me It struck me in the face Challenging my ego Your haunting beauty Accused me of My indifference Breaking my resolve Your sexiness Urged me on constantly stirring unwelcome wanton feelings in my loins Oh, must I break my vows Must I yield to this sweetness A momentary madness To calm my fevered soul Passionate desperate kisses Lavished on she Who is at home To obliterate the Powerful image Of the goddess That has taken root In my anguished soul Only serve to heighten My desire To make her mine And fuel my guilt And so I wither Where I should not Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery The Forbidden Fruit Is so sweetly irresistible And so like Adam I fall with my Eve But should I blame the snake That hissed at me For this is one apple That I shall continue To bite with sublime abandon Until the juices run sour.

No remorse then? He’s quite a guy!
Oh, the remorse is there alright, but typically African pride
Nice.
Thank you so much, Oasien. Glad to see you here
Merci et au plaisir.
My favorite part is this last stanza. It could stand alone. Beautifully done.
“For this is one apple
That I shall continue
To bite with sublime abandon
Until the juices run sour.”
Thank you, Alice. Always
Hmmn…very nice.

“And so like Adam
I fall with my Eve
But should I blame the snake
That hissed at me
For this is one apple
That I shall continue
To bite with sublime abandon
Until the juices run sour.”
amazing !!!!
Thank you, Green Speck.
That is really good, Celestine. I can see good, visual images in your ‘man’ here.
He has a very spoiled, egotistical, attitude of superiority and dominance. Just to let you know, as I have others who have replied to my poem and picture this week on FF. I am leaving the group to focus more on other writing projects that are not finished and need my attention. I want to get my ‘family history’ novel completed this year first off and have been turning some of the old FF 100 word stories into bigger projects of 1500 words to maybe submit somewhere. I hope you will continue to visit my blog and keep in touch that way. I will keep following you as well, and do the same. Your writing is awesome, and i have always enjoyed it.
Oh Joyce, I’m so happy for you. This decision is great as I’ve also been thinking of devoting more time to my works in progress
Of course I will continue to visit your blog. I do love your stories and the Christian perspective you always bring along 
Wishing you all the best
Thank you, Celestine. I appreciate that. It does free up more time for me, and I have recently resurrected on old unfinished novel manuscript I am reworking and revising some, and getting into my characters again.
I plan to use some in parts to post on my blog. We can continue to keep in touch through our blogs.
My goodness Celestine. That was excellent. Excellent from beginning to end.
Thanks a million, Nana. I’m so happy
I could not but to admire the last stanza. Brilliant indeed.
