Eden

The rolling sky self-reflecting as it froths above God
Whispering lacey silhouettes as it curdles in my mouth
The baptismal rain sanctifies itself endlessly


My imperial Eden and unannounced abomination
Severe with conviction; let my body weather here as marble death
My deepest river, you swarm my blood as butterflies clotting me with unashamed resolution


I remain as ever, unchanging.

The first line absolutely took my breath away... "as it froths above God"? OMFG. This is beautiful... the last line is so poignant as well. Love it, Bugsaay. Daffodillage =]
