Nov 2019
I dreamt of a feast
In the warmth of the sun
That made my mouth drool
And my eyes water
The scent clouded my mind
So tempting
I didn't even try to resist
Didn't even wait for an invite
Instead in full consciousness
I leant forward with both hands
And gorged
Indulged more that I should have
I stuffed my mouth with delicacies
And moaned aloud at the ******* flavours
Utter bliss
With complete abandonment
I didn't slow down
Until my belly ached
And my jaw grew tired
Uncontrollably I took more than my fill
Until I became nauseated
Dizzy
And my body slumped
I sat panting
Stomach bloated
Hands stained with the evidence
Each inhale squashed against my organs
This time I moaned for different reasons
Turning away from the morsels which remained
Their sight now offending me
Loud and booming
I heard the call to prayer
Telling me to hurry
And I remember lying there
Filled with sheer dread
Skin clammy with a sheen of sweat
Daunted with the reality
That I was supposed to be fasting
Supposed to be abstaining
Early that morning I had made an oath to God
And I had broken it
A wail broke out from my mouth
At the horror
Of my sins
All the while
My brain chanted
Again and again
Eve had only eaten an apple
