~Sleeping Eve’s Lament~

I sleep - I dream

Eyes shut against visions unreal

Believing I see and hear God

I sleep - I dream

Desiring, devouring

Forbidden harvest

Believing I’m dismantling truths

I sleep – I dream

I fall betraying my soul

Revealing the rawness

A veneer of flora conceals

Believing I’m naked

I sleep - I dream

Reaching inward outside myself

Touching skin to love

Believing I’m birthing sin

I sleep – I dream

Unconscious in fantasia

Waiting to be awakened

Believing Singularity
