Their Own Heaven

Their Own Heaven

A Poem By Ananda Putra Faisal

A bite of knowledge

Is the first of every sins

Temptation from the serpent's lips. 

"Eat my dearest " The serpent murmurs.

And thus innocent gone

The Eden's glow which shines bright

Come to dim upon the sinner

And shame descent.

Together in exile,

Expelled but not forsaken

Forever wary of temptation

A different ground they thread

A harsher light

Walk the world unkind

And yet there's grace to be found

A seed of hope.

To live in their own heaven.
