Poems about Adam and Eve that were written separately.
Eve Speaks


The world has changed
And I with it!
Cursed is the slithering serpent now;
Cursed the ground on which we walked;
Cursed the womb of life.

Silence lay on the garden,
As we strolled its manicured paths,
Two lovers alone in a world of our own.

Alas,
The world has changed
And I with it!
I am not the girl child,
Who gazed longingly into his eyes;
I have become a woman;
I know a woman's pain and sorrow.

Born female
In a male world.
I am no longer content
To be the scapegoat for his sin.

Adam Speaks


Choice that's
the pivot of the whole incident:
choice and responsibility!

Before The Fall
there was neither question nor answer;
neither choice nor responsibility;
neither faith nor doubt.

Now we have both!

A lamentable condition
to be responsible
for my own choices,
for my own salvation.

God does as He pleases
He will not be asked of His doings,
but I am required to explain my choices.
