Poems about Adam, Eve, Lucifer
Eden
by Michael R. Burch
Then earth was heaven too, a perfect garden.
Apples burgeoned and shone, unplucked on sagging boughs.

Adieu - Part 1
Do you remember?
We lay in the moonlight, exhausted and content,
Moments from perfection, skin glistening with moisture,
Salty and sweet from love - love so amazing
That it stunned us every time ...
Always better than before, and always...

down upon the cries of foresaken refugees,
the monastery's walls wobbling from war's wreckage,
and as the black bursts billowed into sun drenched brutality

No One

barred by spindle trees and the last
