7. Serpent Tongue (5:10)
Part I:
So adept was unspoken man,
at dusting ledgers of the seraphim.
That Lilith swept across the broken land,
in a whirl of lust to pleasure him.
This bland Adam, a reaper of the sun in bone dry season,
for Eve was busy sucking thumbs.
Pricked in rosy gardens as he spattered into shells,
and ran with morning fauna his mastiffs and gazelle.
Breathless as the wind!
Adam, prowled, fell foul to sin.
But not before she spread her grin,
across his silent lips.
At crack of day, though what was shame?
The raptor's nest wherein they lay,
bore witness to her soft parade of fingers come to grips.
His undivine attention won, she deftly spun,
from 'neath his thrusts to writhe above in ecstasy.
Pendulous she swung as if her limbs imbibed his tongue.
To spill, as with his rod, the secret name of God.
But no seed passed those fruitful lips.
Serpent tongue!
For fearing her who grasped, he slit...
Serpent tongue!
Her throat from ear to where she fled.
Serpent tongue!
With tail and blood between Her legs!
Paradise...
Part II:
So very kept was the virgin hand,
that brushed the treasures of Utopia.
And how the greed swept across the desert sands,
in late August just to measure her.
This hallowed Eve, a creature of the moon.
A simple dish born with a silver spoon.
Giddy sniffing orchids that opened after dusk.
Incubus and Prudence, two such swoon to touch her.
Restless as the skies,
temptation bloomed, found room to rise,
and snatching breaths between her thighs.
He crawled to Eve!
At dead of night, the sticky clime,
smelt perfect to this serpentine.
This shining angel, palled in mysteries...
Her undivine attention won, he deftly spun,
a web of intrigue for the one, great sacred tree.
Bejewelled and lit as if a thousand shades did flit,
about boughs of forbidden lore, hidden for the want of more!
And when seeds passed those fruitful lips.
Serpent tongue!
And Mankind basked in vast eclipse.
Serpent tongue!
A Devil shot of thin disguise.
Serpent tongue!
Surmised to better paradise.
Paradise...
