Eden

Such madness in your arms
without beginning or end
this 'Rome' of immortality
sweet sorrow she will send.

Sunflowers grace the pathway
leading to your frightened beating heart
a love so pure, yet broken
my darling, beware of Eden's dart.

She comes in whispers and smiles
her softness dances like a fragile doll
once inside
she will poison your soul.

Surround your doorway to heaven
with one stinging nettle
protect your heart my darling
or, in Eden, she will settle.
