CULT LEADERS OF EDEN | POEM

i love you

DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY THINK, 

i DO love you, 

i CAN TAKE IT ALL AWAY

HOW MANY NIGHTS HAVE YOU WONDERED 

WHERE YOU STAND IN THE WORLD? 

HOW MANY NIGHTS HAVE YOU STARED AT YOUR CEILING, 

HOPING INVISIBLE EYES WOULD OPEN 

AND STARE BACK? 

THEY AREN'T

 THERE 

TO HEAR 

YOU 

BUT i 

AM


INTRODUCTIONS ARE FOR THE MORTAL & THE WEAK, 

i COME TO YOU 

AND BRING YOU PEACE

SALVATION

LOVE

i BRING YOU BREAD 

CHEESE & CATTLE 

WINE 

SONG 

AND DANCE 

i PLAY THE TAMBOURINE

& SMILE THROUGH GRITTED TEETH 

MY love FOR YOU

 IS FAR TOO WIDE TO EXPLAIN 

WITHOUT 

RIPPING IT OUT OF MY CHEST, 


IN EDEN, 

THE FIELDS ALWAYS SPRING, 

YOUR MIND WILL QUIET, 

COMMUNITY WILL HOLD YOU IN ITS WARM EMBRACE, 

AS YOU CIRCLE TOTEMS 

WITH POSIES IN YOUR HAIR,

YOUR CUP RUNNETH OVER

YOU WILL NEVER WORRY OF EARTHLY POSSESSIONS 

OR WHAT YOUR PURPOSE IS 


YOUR PURPOSE IS TO love m.e. 

i BRING YOU INTO THIS REALM TO ENJOY YOURSELF 

STEP BEHIND WATERFALLS AT NOON 

& FIND me INSIDE A TREASURE CHEST

IT'S COLD,

YET i AM THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

COME CLOSER, 

COME CLOSER,


 OH, i'm SO INVITING


STEP BEHIND WATERFALLS BY THE END OF JUNE 

& YOU'LL FIND NYMPHS PLAYING THE FLUTE

HOW i HOPE THEIR SHARP TEETH DON'T DETER YOU


IT'S FOR PROTECTION, 

YOU SEE

THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE MY loves AWAY FROM ME, 

DO YOU AGREE? 

WHAT DO WE DO TO HUNTERS?? 

WHAT DO WE DO TO IMPOSTORS WHO ATTEMPT TO KILL OUR EDEN??

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS 

REMEMBER?

REMEMBER,

REMEMBER, 

REMEMBER?


DON'T YOU REMEMBER? 



REMEMBER 

RE

ME

MBER -



.


your cup runneth over 

and yOUR wine tastes of iRoN

it stains your lips 

and sticks between the cracks of your teeth

you've earned your place, 

in the palace of eve
