Love Poem: Eden

Eden

I lie upon a rocky shore 
With ripped clothes I wore,
For days of sailing alone, 
Hope never made me forlorn.

I sailed from the devils den, 
To reach the land of Eden,
To meet my beautiful Laura ,
And smell again her daisy aroma.

Came nights and days of traveling, 
Stepping prickles and day dreaming
From young age to silver hair, 
I wished for free lair.

As I walked weak and weary,
Each step reminded me
Of scorns thrown like stones, 
Bruising us, breaking our bones.

Then I stumbled upon Adam, whose heart’s like mine,
His abs are stony, and breasts so divine.
Like a god he was, can melt lassies’ hearts,
Except the heart with a blue part.

Finally, I’m here! I hang on the apple tree, 
At last! My last words – I am free!
Now, I’m in Eden with Laura
We’ll carve barks – Flora love Laura.
