A Baptism in Eden

Twas a picturesque morn in the Garden.                                A gilded smile from a chubby- cheek-ed star                                      Warmed all creatures in Eden.                                  In the atmosphere the finest music ever                                 Filled all the earth with joy and happiness;                                    The roar of a crystal-clear waterfall                                        Echoed in the background                                       Like the clashing of a cymbal,                                         A sharp and bold sound,                                      Forming a powerful crescendo!                                      The  single song of a lark nearby                                     Completed the heavenly concerto.                                All creatures attended the sacred ceremony...                                   The wedding nuptials of Earth and Sky.                                In the cool waters of Eden’s Euphrates River,                                  Two lovers bathed in joy and splendor.                                      Absorbing all of Eden’s beauty.                                       Lovingly they held each other                               Whilst the mighty waters  cleansed them gently;                                White- washing the first sin from their bodies,                           Hoping beyond all hope that Heaven would smile and justify                                    What Adam soiled by his disobedience.                                        They became one with nature                                    They joined Lord Earth and Madam Sky                                          In their sacred ceremony.                                                                                       The combustion of skin against skin,                                        Released the monster primeval                                           That lurked deep within                                    With a hunger and a passion left unbridled.                                       Underneath this baptismal shower                                         They washed themselves clean                                    With the cleansing waters of love’s power.                                   In the soothing waters, warm and aquamarine                                       They were born again as a couple!                                                                                                                                                                               The man, leaning against his lover,                                            Kissed her tender parts                                 As they listened to a song sung by a heavenly choir                                   Played with the steady bongos of their hearts;                                     Tenderly placing his lips against her navel                                    Blessed the seed  growing deep within her.                                    Lovingly he lost himself inside the female..                                          Dying a slow and happy death,                                          Only to resurrect once more!                                        In ecstacy she let out a joyful sigh,                              Whilst  the babe stirred within her and greeted its mother                                         With a soft and contented cry                                                                                                                                          I had this recurring dream in my twenties and I decided to recordit in a poem. I dedicate it to my boyfriend, Alex Aris! Written October 25th, 2001 © on Oct 25 2001 02:16 AM PST, Mary Aris   paradise • misc2
