THE GARDEN

By River M Blues

My dreams of you are a garden.

I walk its grounds with my soul laid bare,

with my eyes obscured by a shroud.

My heart is ready to harden

and take the crush of your velvet snare.

I beg to colour you proud.

I part your gates with my fingers.

Allow me in, my beloved fiend -

I come to swallow you whole.

The taste of blueberry lingers

on lips that treasure what saints have seen

as fabled Biblical fall.

Your marble statues are riddled

with cracks that beckon me closer still,

adorned with carnivore vines.

I stand unclothed in your middle,

exposed, enchanted, and keen to spill

inside you, naming you mine.
