Falling Apples
A stranger once showed me
Where true love begins
And led me through the garden
The birth place of sin
The skeletons of what once was
And what could have been
Are relics of the last great betrayal
From a serpent eyed woman
In each of her hands
Skin dark as the earth
Lay 2 ancient seeds
The key to love’s birth
Her palm on my chest
Skin white as the stars
She whispers 3 words
And plants the seeds in our hearts
We then fall to our knees
Next to the fountain of youth
A reflective barrier
Between fantasy and truth
While our dreams lie beneath
We only see our side
And as she reaches in the water
The two worlds collide
Following her movements
We lean in for a sip
And once our eyes meet
So do our lips
As the years pass
This world’s all we come to know
Our garden bursts with life
As we watch our love grow
One day as we’re lying
Among the stars in the sky
Your hand slips from mine
And you whisper good-bye
Without explanation
You fall back down to earth
Although the fire engulfs you
You’re immune to its burn
I feel my heart stop
As I’m frozen with pain
The water we drank
Turns to ice in my veins
As you hit the earth
The fire scorches the land
And all that is left of us
Are the ashes and sand
The more I reach for you
The farther I fall away
We are cursed to never meet again
The fate of night and day
