Three Excerpts From The Sonnets of Adam

The Sonnets of Adam

These Sonnets have an
ABCDEFFEDCBA-GG
rhyme scheme.

1
I heard the angels singing on that day
When you made me from dust and morning dew
Upon what land I stood I knew not where
Save all at once in Eden I then stood
The garden of my sadness and my joy
Where I first heard your voice and saw your face
And where I first fell from your perfect grace
To end up where the barren lands destroy
and nothing flourishes to any good
Where even the most fruitful land is bare
Yet even though I work the land anew
It quickly dies to then wither away

So I being the product of your hands
Will die and wither as these worthless lands.

Lilith now tries my patience day and night
Insisting to be leader when we dance
This women on top always wants to be
When ever it is we are making love
And now I see a darkness in her eyes
As if to say her soul is colored black
And that a sense of goodness she must lack
And in her speech I hear the blatant lies
bellowing down from her throat perched above
Which I am forced to look upward to see
Pref'ing to close my eyes with just a glance
While all the time feeling somethings not right

I can not spend forever looking up
At Lilith drinking from her macho cup.

New wife Eve acts lover to the serpent
I've seen her go to the forbidden tree
And console with the serpent night and day
And the serpent wraps himself around her
Then licks her body with his lying tongue
It breaks my heart to see this happening
But nothing I can do would stop such thing
Since you have said that she will do this wrong
Thus causing me to fall a sorcerer
To call upon the stars to lead my way
Through the black magic of my sorcery
Which to creation bears the testament

That my new wife as well, angered the Lord
So now we die commanded by His word.
