Eden ’s Shadetree
Okay, so you said to meet you here and now what?
Is the tree rich with such fruit and more, dare one partake.
What you present, love, is temptation and god, would I bite
Would it be enough to sit beneath Eden ’s shadetree –
To give of 1/3rd of what I want, what you want (would 1/3rd be enough?)
Would one kiss do the job, or does that cross the bounds of impropriety
- you tell me.
For all the lectures, for all the nos, and nons, we gravitate regardless –
“Two moths around a flame,” she said.
So what then of this orchard where I know the fruit would be sweet.
Take a bite; now tell me you don’t care.
