Poem Title:
Poem
Eyes, in such a way, that some strange virture, some everlasting release Was imparted to he. A strange bargain indeed; to resist the gods and to please Satan in his rebellioin from all that was natural, yet also noxious After a tie; for, to what end unlimited perfection…..it would seem abnoxious With no end in sight; and big oaks and trees seeming mortal, yet not dying Ever guessing His source, teasing their mysteries and playing And their relation to Adam; her husband, not by choice But a program counter-intuitive; such that her voice Would only ever be a mere shadow, a gaunt echo Of Adam and his Masters booming light, much like the gecko Who hides softly and silkily in shade cool and damp Or the giant elephant loping about clumsy who only seems to tramp ‘Why this gecko seeking moist air, when the sun chokes his breathe Or the elephant, whose stampde maks him an unwelcome guest. Not content to merely laugh at the huge trunk of the dromedary and his tusk To reach up and grab his elephantine robes and to smell his musk Likely she grew tired of the large mammal and his heavy hoof beats Relentlessly poundingthe earth beneath, hearing him, perhaps from Africa to Crete And caused the rumbling which finally toppled the walls of those fair cities Minoan Or how else did the Kingdom of Knossos fall, so far, the ancient site shows a window Of perfect harmony and bliss an ordered society and blest, with violence well at bay The Idylli morals deepset in grape and olive, crushed sunset with sailors at play Riding on top of dolphins and drinking from the boot, gathering for the store-house Oil, Wine and Wheat; preparing for competition with glove to box or race to trod---no man a louse It would seem this island fantasy a paradise much like that mentioned in Genesis, Eden Where the rule of the monarch rested lightly on the people; and men had ample time to find their abundant pleasure, among the dolphin or minotaur Where pictures depict gymnasts leapingover bulls and by so doing pass the bar Of manhood in such simple and playful way, with manly innocence They had proven their version of the garden—With good sense
