The Garden
Do enlighten me
Why do I desire you so?
Forbidden fruit that you are
hanging temptingly down from a seductive bough
Saliva forming in the corners of my mouth
daring me to taste the exotic juices of your tounge
All the while knowing
that I would never get more
than just a taste
For while you walk the day
I inhabit the night
This knowledge does not extinguish
the flames of lust that burn
within the depths of my loins
Was Eve this tempted
by the fruit she so daringly plucked?
How do I pluck you
from the light of your noon
And enclose you in my arms
under the shroud of my midnight?
I am not blinded by the truth,
the truth of reality
But simply blinded by the sheer
fact that I desire what
will never be mine
Be glad
that I know
That i am aware enough
not to try and pull you into
the light of the celestial bodies
that give my nights a soft glow
But know
should you decide to see what
the night skies offer
I will pierce your skin
and taste what fills you
Allowing you to simply exist
in pleasure
Until your sun causes the stars
to fade away
in your return to the day
