Garden Of Earthly Delights

Let us walk into the garden
of earthly delights,
where roses bloom
in winter,
and the icy winds
seems less bitter.

Arborglyphs line tree trunks,
up and down
and forbidden fruits infect
the ground with
secret delicacies.
Sacred birdsong notes 
flood the air
and float on jasmine scented 
breezes.

Let us walk softly
with hands in each.
Silently.
Secrets and shadows 
we long to breach,
discovering contours
and curves 
hidden deep, 
deep within
the earth.
