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

Hgarvey Daniel Esquire March 16, 2013 at 9:02 PM 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

Kim M April 8, 2010 at 10:40 PM 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)

Royal Trevino April 6, 2010 at 4:12 PM This is creepy to think this. Liked anyways.
