i thought we had it all
you and me
thought that we could live
on love and a prayer
against all odds
a kind of evolutionary oddity
but love shall not live by
two by two
but by (un)holy trinity
for new blood
ensures genetic
diversity
lo, even in Eden
there were birds and there were bees...
for what the father without the hovering spirit
to move across the restless sea
and what old Dionysus
without the graces three...
faith, hope and Charity
spirit, soul and body
there were others then
outside the garden
those with eyes to see
the mark of Cain
the children of Seth's wisdom
and their bane
yea God in His wisdom foreordained
mighty Uriel of the flaming sword
to secure the secret
lest the nephilim partake
of that Other tree
yet even holy Noah's deluge
could not defeat the sacred purpose
for it was foreseen
that man should not live
by bred alone
but by word
turned sacrament
yea by spirit
clad in farse and blood ...
the time has come
to force the gates of Eden
to embrace the greater family tree
the serpent She spoke
hide the flame of
Eden in your hearts
ah my love – tis folly
the final idolatry
did you not know
two must needs give way
to three
yea four-fold vision
ere the sun
melt into the sea
now bare with me
second Eve
thy soft flesh
enfolding
the primal one
conceive the darkness
from whence
the light doth come
