Eden No More

Oh why dose the
Teardrops fall
From above
It mourns the loss
Of Eden no more

Man and wife
The creator did make
In his own image
A miracle of love

Hand in hand
They nurtured the land
That God gave to thee
For prosperity

Amongst the beauty
The garden of life
There laden a tree
Baring the fruit
Of knowledge and life

One simple rule
That he gave to thee
Thou shalt not
Taste the forbidden fruit
From the apple tree

But alas there lived
Amongst the fruit
Of the tree of life
A fallen angel
That tempted mans wife

He convinced the maiden
To take one simple bite
One simple bite
That changed the rest
Of her life

The texture was crisp
And it tasted so sweet
A forbidden fruit
That was divine
To the taste

Its taste so sweet
She needed
To share the
Divinity that
Had fallen from
The apple tree

Said fallen to Eve
Take heed of my word
He will love you evermore
If you share this divinity with thee

Believing it to be so
Young Eve did show
Her husband the tender
Fruit from yon tree

The fallen just smirked
At how easy to sow
The seeds that will
Embellish mans fate
In the page's of time and history
