Under the blanket Of the cloak of night I tended my garden I reached for the seeds of the stars of night And drew them down to Earth To relish them forever Sweet fruits, apples, and pomegranates And rose buds in bloom Permeated the air like sweet incense I fed myself of the beautiful trees Which grew too numerous to count But nightmares arose from deep within When I slumbered beneath the tree I dreamt of falling Fleeing to the ocean's depths My bones were brittle And my face was covered In filth and stench From roving in the desert My hair was matted And my eyes bulged from their sockets My tears were running dry I did not deserve this torment
~
So I sank and saught the truth
~
The bottoms were pleasantly beautiful I befriended monsters there And remember the seaweed Toying with my hair In time, I arose as Mother of the Sea, As Venus Yet another garden was claimed by me And I harkened to their call To come to know This destiny of mine
~
I swelled in the gardens of others Until I needed to return When the student is ready Their teacher appears And I am a willing student of life!
~
That's when I saw him from afar And my world would change forever I peeked at him through the willows He was shining iridescence itself I've met others like him before If I knew what was in store Would I still approach? Knowing me, probably! He whispered that I was a wanted woman He's the first that saw my soul as true Everyone else misunderstood Or feared my intentions Towards them While I hungered for fruits I could never receive again
~
I am barred from the land by the river Why would He do this to me? The Universe's eyes aren't shut And have 20/20 vision His servant always maintained sure distance From his most prized possession
~
He gave me his cloak A garment of protection The dark night And elevated me thusly I took on another form As beautiful as any I vowed not to harm his Master's garden ~
So I tended mine With stars of night And rain and snow With bountiful deer and squirrels If I knew the curses thrown Would I have stayed in the sea If I knew that ruling the skies of night Would bring this upon me I would still stay where I am today I how this seventy tomes seven
~
My garden bears fruit gloriously But I long to bring honor To my garden By making his mandrakes My own
~
All hail to these Three times three
~
The first pear I tasted The first apple that fell The first time I glowed And knew the Never - Uttered
~ ... the longing to be like Him! ... .... the pang to be His mandrake!.... The love we once shared Please, God Give me one more Bite! ~ Lord, what have I done? He raised me up And I dragged him down Now we must spend eternity this way In foxholes and carcasses Always dying to relive the recent past When morning glories were my favorite flower
~
... he shielded me And I was cast away from the Garden And it's fruits forever I wander the desert once again But this time I am not alone
~
We roamed... He offered me a desert flower And bade me to plant From it sprang a river stream To sustain our coagulating blood It did not satisfy We fell And in each other's eyes we found the key To drown out exile' s realities I saw the sun's rays in his eyes again The dark nights will not be gloomy anymore The Name of God is no longer a four letter word We fell down Again and again And the more we fell The more, before our eyes This garden Our garden Grew
~
We tended our garden Until then
~
Contemplating on Jehovah Grieves my heart Until it rips open and I spill my blood The animals retreat My plants for Because my blood has been spilled Innocent blood Within my own garden My lover has left My night lamp To become the hunt And perish For the unspoken Uncherishef . The defiled .
We will never share our garden Again evermore
