And there it was The most beautiful Persian pomegranate With a skin so flawless It would be a sin to cut it open The pomegranate was calling out Begging her to take a bite But she knew it was not hers to taste She resisted the temptation for so long Eyeing the pomegranate every day As she strolled by the fruit bowl One day, when she walked by She noticed the pomegranate had been cut open It’s juicy plump seeds alluring her to just take one bite What would be the harm in just one taste? She put a seed in her mouth It’s water-laden pulp seed burst Exposing her tongue to something She had never tasted before Every day She would walk by And the Persian pomegranate Would demand her to take more So she would slip a few more seeds onto her innocent tongue And as time went on The seeds tasted better, sweeter And more seductively succulent One day She placed the seeds into her mouth But to her surprise Her mouth began to burn Her gums began to blister Her lips began to bleed She was perplexed Because the pomegranate was A poison disguised As a beautiful, sweet fruit The pomegranates poison Consumed her body slowly Ripping her insides to shreds As the days she spent enjoying its sweet offerings Flashed before her eyes The Persian pomegranate Painfully and poignantly killed her

Persian Pomegranate
And there it was The most beautiful Persian pomegranate With a skin so flawless It would be a sin to cut it open The pomegranate was calling out Begging her to take a bite But she knew it was not hers to taste She resisted the temptation for so long Eyeing the pomegranate every day As she strolled by the fruit bowl One day, when she walked by She noticed the pomegranate had been cut open It’s juicy plump seeds alluring her to just take one bite What would be the harm in just one taste? She put a seed in her mouth It’s water-laden pulp seed burst Exposing her tongue to something She had never tasted before Every day She would walk by And the Persian pomegranate Would demand her to take more So she would slip a few more seeds onto her innocent tongue And as time went on The seeds tasted better, sweeter And more seductively succulent One day She placed the seeds into her mouth But to her surprise Her mouth began to burn Her gums began to blister Her lips began to bleed She was perplexed Because the pomegranate was A poison disguised As a beautiful, sweet fruit The pomegranates poison Consumed her body slowly Ripping her insides to shreds As the days she spent enjoying its sweet offerings Flashed before her eyes The Persian pomegranate Painfully and poignantly killed her
