TO YVE EVERYWHERE FROM ADAM OF ALL TIMES

It took You,

God

More than

Just one rib

To form

Her structure

So tender

So fancy

To let

My impossible

Dream

Step out of

The realm of

Fantasy.

It took you

More than

Just one rib

To answer

The yearning

Of my heart,

Modeling

This living piece

Of fine art.

Yes,

You did take

Just one rib,

Altering my whole

Anatomy

Promising to put

Instead

Pleasure

In the place

Of loneliness,

Of agony.

You took

That one rib,

Filling

Its gloomy void

With

Strawberry-red

Flame of

Fire

That when I just

Woke up

I found no name

But called it

“Desire”.

Thanks be to you

God

For in my life

She waves

Wondering

Between

Reality and

Myth

But without her

My so-called life

Would always have

The taste of

Death.

O God,

If you had not

Done

I would have

Taken out

My very heart

Out of the depth

Of my core,

Asking:

And this, Lord,

What is it for?
