Eden

Vilify your archaic words
To this scarlet whore
In my garden of Eden
Finding the temptress

Serpent seducer
Slut shamer
Soul stealer

Disdain for your doctrine
To this crimson whore
In my garden of Eden
Caging the temptress

A frenzy of glistening bodies.

Shadows

No song for the shadows
Shadows of our former selves
No song for the broken hearted
Pieces left untouched
No song yet for the yearning
A melody far off
No song for the wife
Vows and words unsaid
A piano not played
A silent room
An empty heart.
