Skeleton

The skeleton On the day you were born I have bestowed upon you We will spend together a lifetime Without me inside you compare to glue Like the cockroach who always hides I can only be found deep inside the skin I am not the one you find in the closet I am the one in a sack of bones Created from the dust While your other half, given life from your ribs The man always returns to the dirt he is The women remain in the coffin, she made for us The Apple Eve shared with Adam Doomed us to die from the start From the snake came nothing good Just a battle of evil in our hearts A piece of skeleton from Adams rib A rib from Adam he made Eve Eve in form of a skeleton, with a breath Our bones will never unite in heaven That is the price for Eve's deceive She gave up our human paradise Hiding in each and every one of us Until the day we die Adam will return as dust While Eve stays to show death comes to us all! The spirit and soul left us for eternity As I remain where you last laid, your body rots away You slowly depart, leaving me behind You are going to the other world While I remain in this box SKELETON Never to see each other again 4-1-10

If you pull the wings of a fly do you call it a walk.

Dear Linda, I did not mean to sound rude or brash On my last comment to YOUR very well written, thought envoking POEM "Skeleton" It was until the last line that I started to cry in fear this would really happen. Please Forgive me. Since I'm on the subject of me being upset I agree with "Constance" comment on a name change for YOU are not "A POET Destroyer" more of a POET Inspirer. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry

Interesting how this skeleton began telling its view of dwelling inside our skin and transitioned to describing how skeleton was formed and then describing the skeleton's theory/beliefs of its dissolution. Humm? Might make a good debate topic for ones who master debates. (check soup mail)
