togethor we devoured ourselves
ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge till it was bare n we were sick
then we caught the serpent
roasted him on our fire
pulled back the flesh with bare teeth
drank the warm blood from its still beating heart
ravaging the carcass
still thirsting for more i wrapped the bones around my neck n headed out into the wilderness
my wildness overtaking all
i consumed every scrap i came across n was never satisfied
i became the lord of all
trapped behind self built walls
waiting for it all to fall
my carelessness created sprawl
now i must wipe it all away
i lost myself in a dark day
realized that i'd one astray
n returned to the garden with no delay
to find the spot where my goddess lay
she was strung out underneath the tree
cursed myself for letting this be
i caressed her lightly
pulled her into me
kissed her forehead ever so gently
whispered blessings into her ear
told her everything she ever needed to hear
slowly her clouded eyes began to clear
then she kissed me, drew me near
n i knew we were angels sent from above
then on the tree appeared a dove
it brought a message
i'd found my answer
n it was love...
