Eden
The apple blooms are heady with perfume
arousing the beasts all over the land.
The lion and lamb should not assume
the apple blooms are heady with perfume
but hold white lies. They die in her picked hand
and prove that sin convinced the weakened man,
the apple blooms are heady with perfume
arousing the beasts all over the land.

Royalties
Newborn tulips sip from antiquity,
feed on forgotten bones of men once throned,
root for fertile ghosts of tranquility.
Newborn tulips sip from antiquity,
hold sway, and bend without humility.
Blessedly bowing to the richly atoned,
newborn tulips sip from antiquity,
feed on forgotten bones of men once throned.

Paper Doll
She learned to tear along the perforation,
throw away the stark white negative spaces.
When she saw the positive as inspiration
she learned to tear along the perforation
and found what's left, is the decoration.
To outline her style and define her faces,
she learned to tear along the perforation.
Throw away the stark white negative spaces.
