+------The Shape Of Her; David's Thoughts While Gazing at Bathsheba 

No preceding experience
could ready me for this…encompassing
enchantment; I hear the
footsteps of Adam, Eve. Eden’s leaves
rustling, twigs snapping, Birds
adjusting their wings in nervous
flutter as they approached The Tree
defiant. And Im spellbound by the
shape of her, forbidden. Her body
picked from the soul’s branches of sloth.
This will be my ruin, I know. But I must
taste, see love ephemeral. Lust infernal.

------2 Samuel 11:1-4
And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
