Eden's Gate

Naked I approach the gate of Eden looking east I see the tree of life Tall and heavy with succulent fruit her branches bowing low Dare I open the gate and walk upon the garden's ground Cherubim with swords of flame shake their mighty blades The force of their wind strikes me down and I am rolled away... Am I from the seed of Cain cursed upon an cursed earth Awaken into a dream falling towards heavens Cold is my skin but hot to the touch Boil my blood till my soul evaporates and blends within the cosmos Choas is planned all in all is all Shake the gate of Eden shake until it breaks and Eden spills onto a damned earth washing away sin is it overflows Pure doves of black and white flutter into the sky Layers upon layers of time churn as butterfly shape angels giggle dropping seeds of the Life's Tree from the beginning to the end of the world Why is life given Why is life taken one bite of her flesh and we are eternal Swallow hard and bestow Eden into our hearts within our blood clutched by raw fist that dare to grasp eternity Innocence regained with the taste of evil upon our lips Born into sin but cleansed by the Life tree From being godlike to becoming a god eternity is the first step through Eden's gate.
