I had a dream

Have you ever dreamed that you were once someone else?

I closed my mind and awakened my third eye
as I dreamed of a place from deep within me
It was a dark existence for anyone looking in
my absolute light equates to relative darkness

Silence draped over my face as if I was dead
absent of motion, time suspended into space
flesh fell from bones, like shackles from walls
and my soul was freed to roam the Universe

God had a conversation with me with no one to intercede
no priest or ministers allowed in this dream
She spoke clearly about love and fear
what we feel is from one or the other, you see

"What do you love most?" she asked
as blue crimson swirled air into lungs
my muse squeezed my hand tight
and my eyes opened to the beauty of this land
mountains that soared through clouds
the valleys that carved into ground
winds that blew awakened my skin
animals that I once named as a game
and Woman the yin of my yang

her external beauty was a spear without tip
and she bluntly caved my chest in
exquisite was her insides
emotions so rich it filled mine
and through her I found human love
it was her mind that pierced my heart
and I bleed in tones of crimson red

it was then that I felt fear set in
anger gripped my wrist
forcing my muse back in
I closed my eyes to total darkness
silence draped my face as if I was dead
I choked on the fruit I ate

"What do you fear most?" she asked
as the boy who pretended to be her
dressed up as Satan a mystical bible verse
Poetic Justice has touched my thoughts
as gray smoke swirled into lungs
I stood alone with no Muse to hold
tried to hide in the darkness of my mind
but my eyes open to the blackest of hearts
revenge reigned just behind fear
Women and Men battled over perceived control
Matriarch, Patriarch, our government unfolds
religion replaced spirituality and common sense
our filthy souls worshiped idols, like...
paper money and precious gold
lust and passion over love
consumption of Oil our Earth's blood
pain and suffering over good will
I fear what Man's knowledge has done
my flesh has poisoned my love
but what I fear most
I hide in my heart

I may love myself
more than anything else
and this is why I feel separated
from the Goddess who created me

Who am I you wonder?
Why, I am Adam the first human
and I loved God before I ever loved Eve
It is my flesh that betrayed me

Author's Note

This poem story didn't start out as a poem about Adam and Eve but my Muse took over so it may need some editing. I am posting as it was given to me. And to my friend I hope you see the special dedication in this one to you.

You use really well some interesting and lovely wording and your imagery is thought provoking. You have a inner and universal understanding and language. its a interesting approach on the struggles of self, love and belief. Some parts stray but other than that this is written well and a thought provoking read.

@so what We are raised to view only one side of God and that is the male side. Is it so profound to see Gods female side? Look to nature it is shown there too. :)

@Praiser - It is true there were many before Adam and Eve but in this dream there is only God, Adam and Eve a creative perspective taken :)

[Poetic Beauty]

I like this story. It is told in a whole knew way. The descriptions are wonderfully done and allow it to be created in the mind. You have done this well my only thought or opinion rather is the whole Adam and Eve thing is over played but you did a great write with it.

[StacyPerry]

At times there is a muse standing by you and they take things in a different direction even though we might have something in mind.......you can just never tell.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Surreal... glorius, so beautifully mystifying although very open.
A lovely muse and may we all have Poetic Justice..
Wonderful! I am half asleep here to say much more than this is one heck of a poem.
