A Wind Blew Out of Eden

A wind blew out of Eden and whispered through my hair tempting me with paradise a world without a care. It crooked it's finger calling me it flirted hard with batted eyes promising my heart would heal wrapped in a numb disguise. It laughed as if it really knew what happiness might be and danced with energetic joy and bubbled painfully with glee. It kissed me with the sunshine and loved me with the rain it pledged to me I'd never feel the bite of pain again. My eyes half shut in Eden's trace, escaping seemed so sweet until a child's tears reached my ears and then propelled a mother's feet... If I can kiss away the hurt, and I can feel the human depth then Eden can't seduce me yet I've too much living left...
