Once Sacramental Love
Sweet was the flesh of my tongue
Like the forbidden fruit
Hanging lusciously on some tall bough.
Like the serpent to eve, i tell her,
``Eat, there's wisdom in its flesh``
And she goes all the way with a ladder.
I seduce her all the way to the alter.
All day long, that day
We sang and danced
Because two hearts are joined.
We take the sacrament
Humply bowing to our Lord.
But what makes true love whither?
Two months of broken vows
Severe the tender caresses.
Eyes were open then, but our hearts
We took the wrong door to bed
Then slept till the rainbow evaporated.
Beneath the heart`s horizon
Dust settles on lost treasure.
The white moon still hang on high
Clouded by a stain of dusk.
Once sacramental love
Slips to its bed-rest.
