Dear Eve Poem by Aseso Omollo

Dear Eve,

Today reminds me of my best night in this Garden. Twas a fortnight into the second month and we laughed as we stared at the diamonds in the sky.

I could feel the warmth of your breath on my face

as I tasted the luscious lips of you,

I could feel the rhythm of your heart on my chest

as I tickled to your petal soft skin next to me,

I could smell the essence of you

as I stared into the mirrors of your soul,

Slowly, we timed our staccato to perfection –

Each step in time, each sway majestic, each breath matched.

And in perfect harmony did we dance, as the silver moon gave a smile at the sight –

Both of us drenched in labour’s tears, both of us heaving, both of us lost...in song,

Then; the sweetest sound as you called out your Creator and I knocked on Heaven’s door,

I miss you, and do wish you were here.



Yours forever,

Adam
