As the eyes in oblivion closed,

The Garden of Eden appeared.

It meant to become kids again –

Exploring was the goal to attain.

No inhibitions, no thinking,

Only craving for gratification.

Heavy petting painted the air

With the colors of the rainbow.

As the clothes came off frantically,

Heavy petting, was the air painting

With the colors of the rainbow.

Hands could feel the soul aching

With the desire to explode.

 The bottomless pit of gratification

Could not be reached within human means:

Lust became a rampant addiction

After the heart grew wrestles in sin.

The Serpent, the uncanniest of all animals,

Empowered seduction.

Knowledge and skills of ancient times

Dazzled and excited the mind. 

Suddenly the Garden of Eden bloomed

With every imaginable flower and fruit.

The angels filled the air with their melody

“If you eat the fruit, you shall die”.

Adam and Eve awoke only to fail miserably

By repeating their sin.

The Serpent bit the human flesh

With its lethal discharge.

Genesis had come alive again

As the battle between Good versus Evil continued.
