"My lover is an apple tree, the finest in the orchard...

I am seated in his much-desired shade and his fruit

lovely to eat...Oh feed me with your love, your

raisins and your apples, for I am utterly lovesick..."

Song of Solomon 2:3 (The Living Bible)



(With all due respect to the above scripture, this poem

is best read with tongue-in-cheek - your own tongue,

not someone else's.)





I sat beneath the apple tree

waiting for you all day,

writing poetry,

sculpting real feelings

from a garden of silence;



and there, I became an

independent woman,

ignoring man's demands

to be fruitful,

for I am not the apple tree;

I am only in love with the lover

of its fruit.
