I stepped out from the dark doorway
into a world entirely beautiful
where flowers bloom with extra brilliance
where birds chirp with extra sweetness
where the trees unfurl newborn leaves
and sway with the cool breeze
where the sun spread its warm glow
as if it would never set
i walked among them
every time i step
my heart overflowing with pleasure
and equally waiting with my eyes open
to absorb the next scene
is this heaven?
i ask myself
my feet stops
in front of a bright red mango
it looked so tempting and desirable to touch
every part of my body drawn to it
my gaze never leaving its beauty
i reach up and grasp the mango
oh no! its bleeding
its blood oozing over my hand
redder than the mango itself
goodbye my forbidden fruit
i whispered, and walked ahead
with tears in my eyes
but worse
it continued to bleed
