Redemption After The Fall

Redemption After the Fall

Silence falls in Eden, no longer ruled by men. All that’s left is thorns and wilted roses.

Imagined fingers glide across silken skin, and we hide. Locked in a drawer, and the door closes.

Whispers attempt to bring fallen Eden back to spring, but lies offer nothing but false poses.

Maybe we could find hope within the mind as the guardian of lost Eden dozes.

Instruct Me in the Ways of Love

Flow over me in an endless wave. Use fingers and other finely crafted parts to bring me sweetly onward. Spiraling up and slowly winding down again. I’ll not forget you, for you are included in this wordless dance of bodies and souls intertwined. Lead me, and I’ll gladly follow into passion’s oblivion.

Perspective

Remember how friction always felt so good when you moved against my thighs?

When my hands touched you, mouths meeting hungry, stifling your cries.

How you always clung to me, breath hot and fast, need in your eyes.

I never guessed that it was all contrived neatly fabricated lies.

And now I sit here with false memories while the love inside me dies.

You’d think by now time would’ve robbed me of my surprise.

But it’s not as healing as the old saying always implies.

Inadequate

Fear and hurt pound in my brain. Love and anger drive me insane. The rain begins to fall.

I’m tumbling over the edge with nothing but a ledge between me and it all.

While looking for the cause I find myself listing the laws of why you make me crawl.

Lift me past my pain. Shield my body from the rain. Break down the wall.

But you could never do these things. Instead you use your powers to enthrall.

You hurt me, and you hate me. I know that it’s too late for me to call.

It’s clear that I am nothing, yet it is to you whom I cling. I wish I had the gall...

to tell you..nothing. No, nothing at all.

Fragmented Shelter

Scream out loud. Open a window and let a little sunshine into the room. Call out my name, and I’ll come listen to you whisper nonsense in the dark. Fear and pain are all forgotten in the shelter of my arms. I can comfort you, but there’s no one to shield me from my own pain, the little things that eat away at your soul day by everlasting day. The rain begins to fall, and we are curled up with our backs to the wall. Don’t forget that I laughed with you when there was nothing but the sound of nails scraping across the contradicting green of the blackboard.

A Woman Scorned

Temper me like grade-A steel. It’ll show you what my soul reveals. Wrap me up in a silken shroud; don’t listen when I call out loud.

I hate you a thousand times, but you’re never punished for your crimes. Never truth, it’s endless lies. My eyes see what my heart denies.

At chess you are unchallenged best with me your pawn like all the rest. A mocking tone and open scorn leaves my love in me stillborn.

So lock the door, turn out the light. It’s over now, let’s please don’t fight. You think everything’s just fine, but I’ll show you when I take what’s mine.
