The apple hung
Its taste sweet
the bite of death
Mouthwatering poison

No change
The garden stays
The same as ever
as its always been

Here in this false Eden
Here alone in the trees
I lie thinking
Stareing at the sun

All the while
The garden blooms
lonely in late June
This world in i play

Adam alone
in a false Eden
of glass and mortar
In my mind

And i open my eyes
And return from eden
And i am not alone
And the apple hangs on the tree

------------------
Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
