Eden
by Paul Jump
Your
smile blooms like a wondrous flower,
Your eyes glow green and grow in our
Garden sown with Earth’s delight.
Rose
lips ope like Spring’s soft bud:
Fluttering hearts o’er-swell with blood:
Tongues sip nectar, wings take flight.
_
Scents
from shadows rich and sweet,
Billow as we pluck and eat
A fruit from Knowledge’s tree, dense,
Then
lie upon the mossy bed,
Where poor Eve fell and cried and bled
Before the saints were banished hence.
_
Honey
rains from cloudless skies
That blush as Cupid’s arrow flies,
Its tip all smeared with ecstasies.
Founts
of joy burst from the earth
And in the white foam has its birth
Endless possibilities,
Infinite eternities.
