Eden

White canvass

Curved for your pleasure

Scenery beneath her

Teases his thrill

Posts align

The dusted pathway

Fenced in

Pulsing scene

Shallow waters flow

In the background

Mouth watering

Sultry streams

Evocative harvesting

Fields of temptress grace

A garden of Eden

A secret lace

Applause

Humbled by the background

Drops that fall like snow

Alignment of segments

Flourish in a perfect row

Distance on the hills

Feeling the misty dew

Wafts of scented paradise

Rivers that hold shattered canoes

Crawling foliage strangles

The gaps peeking through

Falling almost on purpose

Breathing life of new

Splintered wooden platforms

Pathways of footsteps

Twinkling shimmering pods

Pulling anxious rods

Lonesome

Tuck her away

Tearing away her soul

Nothing left

But your control

Force your words

Not hers

Expose her spine

That is just fine

Rain it taps

Away her sadness

Isolating her mind

Frozen in time

Banner of need

You are the hunter

You must feed

Words that cut so deep

Causing an open wound

To burst

To bleed

Throat dry

Breath held heavily

Nothing erases

A memory

Throw your blanket

Over damaged skin

Forgiveness is not

Easily given

Falling

Eyes that pardon

Exiled minds

Dripping palms

Hardened crimes

Tortured blazoned saddles

Pulled into temptation

Whispers shuffle

Their suspension

Catapulting kaleidoscopes

Wonder years

Of enemies

Of fears

Salted tears

Sinful ground

Walls call time

Lives remembered

Hold the bell chime

Desolate

Vines that strangle

Wooden bridges

Shaping the isolation

The forbidden

Hinged in solitude

Unhinged the war

In her mind

Imperfections that gasp

Layers of broken promises

Cradling the past

Nursing what may

Never last

Spilling water

Over harvested hands

Tunnels that form

Like quick sand

Crush

Whipping the silent air

With a sword sharpened tongue

That bleeds the toxic path

Power is his rathe

Dividing the few

Empty vessels

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to explore

Skin that etches

Empty crevasses

Thirst drips on the table

Eyes glaze

Fire burning

Skin raised

Mind is a blaze

Body is a maze

Emotional corners

Too dark to ignore

Particles of flickering flashes

It continues

On it bashes

Seclusion

Claws expose

The darkness beneath

Scraping away

Turning the bitter pill

Eyes red

Suffocating under the rising sun

Caving in

To the under ground

Wilderness so profound

Lash the soil

Nails pull to throw

Memories lined up

In a perfect row

Swallow the water

That fills hollow jaws

Isolation is the

Tortured soul

Reflections that mirror

Wires of the innocent

Fertile lands

Seeds never to flourish
