the seed to eternity

the seed to eternity

she offered him her womb

but he did not want to go that deep

he was not willing to explore her possibilities

all he wanted to do was plunder her gardens

to eat of the fruits

and labor not

yes he wanted to give her his seed

but not fulfill her needs

he wanted no commitment

to the possibilities of the situation

and her equations of happiness

again went unfulfilled

in her dreams

she constantly tilled the soils of her hopes

only to have them despoiled

is disdain

of her pains

no one of her suitors

seemed willing

to be that suitable completion

of the possibilities of her magic

she knew she was worthy

for she had a love unrequited

that has never known the darkness of despair

yet, each time

these divisive thieves of dreams and visions

stole a bit more of the air

that she so desperately needed

for her wings to work

you see, she was an angel of love

and all these walking dead could think of

was the physical

non-committal acts

they could enact

for a nights cessations

never realizing that their needs

would never cease as well

and an empty shell of a man they would remain

and they would be compelled

to forever be the zombies

of the nights

of ill gotten plights

and their souls would suffer

as it was for her

never realizing that there was a gift divine

lying in front of them

as she offered them her womb

the seed to eternity
