The Bond

 A couch of flowers

she offered

and there I stupidly lay

To see a man amply

satisfied

again with this offering

God stood amazed

But there’s an emptiness

of the flesh

that creates a potential

to conduct

a touch

entire and quick

to fill him enough

Woman

has the touch of flesh

that more than

fills a man

As she holds him deep

inside

herself

and makes sacred

the offering again

Once there was love

in women’s thoughts

but Eve

put forth her hand

and ate love

from the tree

and ate love up,

before man

I knew not what

I wanted

till I ate

I wanted love

but ate passion

I wanted passion

but ate despair

And in eating despair

was not filled

but wanted love

even, more

And when I took love

and failed

the bond

I know now my Adam

made an offering

to even thirteen

but never bonded

never loved

an Eve

Yet wanted love

even, more.
