The Secret Eden

The fecund

Poem nurtures the soul...

Remaking

The secret Eden in her

Own image

Heartbeat of the gods...

The mystery of a perfect

Smile revealed

Beyond the limits

Of freewill, you flowered

Along with the roses

The unspoken language

Of desire ingrained

You sing

The dreamtime melody...

Golden dawn

You share

The pulse of my rib

This precious gift

Of love in the inner garden

Of dreams

The angelic face

Of the moon in focus...

Smiling Eve

Then the quest

For the perfect stanza begins

The Odyssey

Of the enchanted spirit

Of the realm

You seize

The glorious moment

Cultivating

The fertile crescent of my

Soul with glee

Another visionary observation,This is a chilling poem, reminding us that we all to often see ourselves as reflections in life's accessories,It reads so powerfully fluid, the language is really striking.Very refreshing poem with a stunning ending...

Good one LAWRENCE..

Love detached from the mundane world of flesh-only.....souls drifting in the cosmos but still attached to Eden, Eve AND THE shared Rib, I name it Venus is more than just Vagina !!!!!

You describe all the features of your lover in a sublime way that gives us a glimpse of her beauty through the eyes of your soul. Your ending sweetly says she fulfills you.
