Descent

I crossed into transition    
And you froze      
I fell from no high estate      
Into eyes      
Certain looks      
That lead at last to cleavage      
Your capote      
Waving red to rage the bull      
Then pulled away      
Side stepping the charge      
In your custom made torero suit      
How do you breath      
In the clothes you wedge into      
Designed and worn with purpose      
Yet I'm the the one who's breathless      
      
In Eden once was common tongue      
Shared by man and beast      
Tho' every heaven is touched by hell      
And you played my serpent well      
Beguiling with your fruit, my seed      
My eyes pleading        
But to take and eat      
Your tongue flicking      
Your lips licking      
But the fall was in your eyes      
       
You change your colors with your moods      
Your sign the changing moon      
And I flail to touch        
What you won't give      
And yet      
You give just scarce enough      
That somewhere its called love      
For hell has its depths      
Sometimes heaven touched        
Wraith like, fading as you play me      
Your joy to keep me lingering      
In a longing unfulfilled      
In your stasis between two worlds      
       
My soul has been fine grated      
Sifted      
You choosing what you will      
My dreams of heaven you denied      
My sojourn through hell      
Temptations rich supplied      
And yet, still,  
I would rage you as the sea  
That with fury pounds fair strands      
See you wet,  
Soaked and glistening      
Showered with my spray      
For I know your borders well      
Sea scent's in the air      
And mine's the rising swell      
Yes, even adamant will break      
Given a thousand years      
And I would break your will      
To have you fall with me      
As you have broken mine      
Who have waited !ong to see
What heaven will yet be
