Eve

She let love grow in her garden
Uninterrupted
She let the sun bathe the earth
As she gifted
Seeds as an ancient as time
Her story became a rhyme
No one could forget
Eve
Your apples bled
Life into us

The sun decides to set
The birds stop the chirping
The town grows quiet
And the chimeys start singing
A bittersweet song
For a day that is ending
Here we lay in a warm bed
Our love story just beginning

Redolent

I close my eyes

And fool my senses

And take barbed wires

For picket fences

Redolent of the ostrich

That did not want to see

Her world as it appeared to be

Imagination growing

Knowing

I’m ALMOST free

Merge

I think I saw you
As you fell
As the world crept closer
As your wings failed to hold you any longer
I knew my arms were too weak
My mouth couldn’t speak
My mind merged with yours
And we soared
That was the last day
An angel ever fell
The devil and the angel
Merged

Dappled

I still see it
Through my brain’s eye
The dappled floors
As I skipped the halls
Sunshine covering me
Heat much too dry
School in the desert
Memories passing by
I

Let

Them

All
