The Rest's History

This is an epic one welcome to read if you so chose too.


In the portals of all times
You appeared on a dawn's morning dew
Waking from your slumber,
Stretching your limbs rubbing your eyes
Gazing about, you with wonder in your eyes
Before you this little paradise;
Those other creatures strolling without a care
Taking notice, not of you...
Contented you seemed in, your little world
Exploring every which way you went
From that mountain high to the valleys below
Across the savannas wild
You were king of your little paradise.
A smile in your eyes opening your arms wide
Taking in, the moment, you were satisfied.
Then one day it became obvious
That there was just one of you
While there were two of the other creatures around you
Morose you grew feeling alone
But why should there be just one of you?
When with other creatures there were more two
Sitting watching for days
Taking note of their behaviour
They seemed happy following each other, playing games!
While you alone had not a mate to be with you
Befriending other creatures running around
You became unsatisfied they weren't your kind as you saw it...
Feeling alone; He became aware of his aloneness...
Becoming aware of his loneliness his maker taking note
But contentment resided within he
One night in his sleep he's a maker from his ribcage took a rib
& moulded Adam a pretty little creature
So he could go about with
So on that first day of days on a morning's fresh dawn
Before the rising of the sun erupted through
On that early morn's dew, as he stretched opened his eyes...
There was a chorus in the air a symphony
The other creatures in his world sang
Halleluiah, in the extreme...
Overflowing happiness within, standing, before him
A new creature gazing at him...in the periphery of his eyes
Uncomprehending, he stood looking at Eve
Where have you sprouted from; asked he, a new species!
She stood there while he took note of her
She's not quite like him the differences about her
To start, she had two bumps on her chest
& down bellow definitely different
Flummoxed was he, he was different...
He stopped could not gazing at her; perturbed-ly
Extending his hand, he took hold of hers
As they went about happily, he had a creature such as he
He was content, life was beautiful happiness exuded within
Then one day his maker got bored wondered how to excite things
So he called Eve & Adam into his presence telling them;
Pointing at Adam, saying you are, man & you are, woman
I moulded you in my two hands, like all those creatures before you
So to put a spanner in the works, he lets them know;
All of this belongs to you!
All you see before you is yours also I've given you a brain, so use it
all you can see before you, you can eat,
All of the fruits you can see on the grounds on, the trees;
How lucky they were in living in such a place as this!
Then he pointed at Adam & Eve
But you mustn't touch that fruit that's she
For she's the most glorious of fruits...Promise!
So he promised not to eat that fruit that was she;
Then one day, Eve is just like me!
Rebelling for all to see ignoring all she's told
Following her own star. curiosity within her;
Why must he eat not a fruit such as me! Though she...
She asked Adam why can't you have me
I too am a fruit you see!
Adam shook his head no, he's forbidden me
To pick fruit from your tree looking at her dejectedly
The days went by Eve had another try tempting him
Then why  must other creatures enjoy each other's trees
Why cannot we shake our own tree!
That's the way it's meant to be said he;
But there was this worm-eating burrowing into Eve's mind
Despite herself, desist she would not, again she must try
For ripe was she this very moment...
Offering herself one more time, strong, enough he was not
For there was, fire in his blood his mind matching hers;
Their world came to an end there & then
For they found moments of love
Euphorically deliriously happy
When their world was in its infancy
In each & every moment;
The rest is history!
Or so they say!!
