Eden's Lawn (As Seen at Dawn)
the
snake
inside
says
take
a
bite
midnight chimes, single light survives the darks tailing
distant cries, a mimic lives within my heart... failing
it's inside me... limitless exist.. if i.. ate.. three....?
one a day, they'll come to say, a gift from the great tree
but i've tried to seek some space, not chase the infinite
embark to safety, madness beckons, recompense, sent a stark craving
arms sag. this insistent darkness is some hard training
breaking down in large ways, aching in an arched craze
pestilent to posture, standing strong but with my charge fading
tell the cravings no offence like describing the Ark's railings,
but then...
-scarf-
...ate it
simple minds improve, and even ghastly thoughts will pass and quit
the moon, it's bluish hue, it's sadness soothing as a phantoms kiss
nutrients of fruit, i torch forbidden trees like candle wicks
intelligence of serpents that'll match the wits of basilisks
but wisdom is a burden. as you grow in life, it's true graffiti
can't catch the fists of pacifists, a massacring brute will beat me
true, all these advantages seemed stupid, now the truth, im seeing
brain is boosted, now it's breathing from illumined regions, doom is speaking
feeling sadness all around me, even melancholy gloom is beaming
i know there's many answers of why life exists, like who's the genie?
but perhaps the human species is the universes kundalini.... hmm
misery loves company, i'm happy there's this view to greet me
