Metamorphosis
Have you been through this emotional, physical, and existential transformation from innocence into experience?
Or more precisely, from youth into adulthood?
Metamorphosis
(A lone voice whispers)
I still dream of the beautiful moments, when I was first introduced, to the Red Goddess called, Sin
Still feel her soft red fingernails, on my hard skin
Still taste her red lipstick, as I became her king or queen
And walked like, Adam and Eve, naked
Into my own Garden of Eden
As I remember the noises of the early morning Blackbirds
Who just loved to sing
When I became of age, and walked reborn, into an adult's skin
