TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN

By Patrick Masudi

This was the time when the world was all mine,

the time you made me feel like Adam in Eden

actually when I was Adam, your Adam.

Eve you always were around and right by me.

Blissfully I had fell into this abyss of passion,

never minding the depth, falling out was no option.

If anything the deeper I fell the cooler it felt,

you remained the hot one to get my heart to melt.

That’s before all these became memories to fantasize,

Eve you solemnly swore no one thing would part us,

when you whispered it from your ever charming eyes.

Imagining the Paradise of Eden without you

crucially became impossible.

But now it’s just all darkness and obscure,

nothing is as we  had it planned nor clear,

I know it’s the thing with love; never goes to plan,

Love is one big illusion that now I pan.

Now you accuse me of having confused everything,

mistook you being friendly for naivety and love.

Mistaking it for your naivety?? Naah not me.

Mistaking it for love?? Sounds rightly like me,

because that’s me and I plead guilty for that.

And how I wish before pronouncing your judgment,

you’d be kind enough to flush me with explanation

as to why and how loving you was a crime

worth the sentence of bringing my heart to pieces!

It’s the innocent me seeking my peace.

Because I can’t hide it from you I miss Eden,

Eve I miss being your Adam again at Eden.

The fruit we ate shouldn’t come between us

we can reach an amicable suit, 

just Take Me Back To Eden.
