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
