Unlike A Fairytale

by Blue-Stubby

agony looks for growth and to perpetuate and take hold, it offers up sinful yearnings

A malicious hand reached out
bidding fruits pleasing to my eyes.
The flawless gifts cleverly shrouded
within realms of a devious guise.

I pondered the choice presented
to stave off growing lament.
Such a sweet proposal though,
a respite against my torment.

Temptation invoked a woman
with pleasantries soft and warm.
Her mouth dripping with honey,
whispering comfort from the storm.

Flowing locks laced her breasts,
translucent silk exposed her region.
Beauty masks a lustful monster
conjured from an unholy legion.

She lay slithering before me
in looming shadows of the beast.
Only the armor from discernment
would shield me from his feast.

I let the fruits fall to the ground
and crushed them with my foot.
Lucifer roared and fled to hell,
leaving a trail of smoldering soot.

Spiritual discernment against unholy offerings is a battle that we all face. Lives are destroyed and the flesh can be easily outwitted. As we allow the resurrected Christ to live in us, more of him and less of ourselves, our spiritual strength allows us to rely on God to fight for us as we trust in his written word.
