The Dream

The sky
The roots
Forbidden fruits

The cry 
The lust
The flesh is dust

The rope
We grope
As we sink in deep

The grip
Will slip
As we slide into sleep

The dream
The scream
As we fall in our sleep

From the sky
To the roots
Like falling fruits

The babies cry
Made in lust
Yet is made 
from earthly dust

The end will come
The dust returns
As wood to ash
The fire burns

Pretty dramatic, almost passionate somehow. The style/rhythm makes it a rather intense read too. Well done, I like it.
