Genesis.

when i will be in paradise with you,
the serpent shall entwine us in embrace,
our apple to core shall be bitten through
& genesis the beatific face
under weeping willow of orpheus
& honey kiss of sweet ambrosia
in the memory mists of eleusis,
flesh on flesh, light on light, i your lover.

when i will be in paradise with you,
the music from my heartīs harp in edenīs
garden shall anoint in loveīs fervour true
every flower, every tree to gladden
with your names & open timeīs sacred womb,
born risen to paradise from earthīs tomb.

Genesis
