Artwork By Jacek Yerka (Between Heaven and Hell)
There are no curtains, no doors
To the room that is your soul
By design an artist to the core
Lock and key, serving tea for two
Be my Adam and I'll play your Eve
Forbidden fruit between our lips
We forget the hissing egg on a hot pan
And the cat curled up in dreamland
We cover ourselves in leaves
A pair of human trees
With eyes wide open and full of dreams

Oh, that's just right - there should be no curtains or doors. I love the way you connect the bits of the image with Adam & Eve. Your closing is amazing: "With eyes wide open and full of dreams"
Oh .... this is wonderful!!!
This is coool, so sweet!
No doors, no curtains to the room that is our soul!
Love it.
A beautiful, tender, little poem, W.G. You've got me thinking, lots.

Beautiful metaphorical poetry ... amazing sue of words !!!
This delighted and touched me. At the end I sighed a "hmmmmm' to myself.
And the cat curled up in dreamland and A pair of human trees...sublime.
This is so good, difficult to say HOW good I think it is. I shall read it a few times more, I think.
Cups of tea and egg- such a launch!

I couldn't help but think the second stanza was a rap! :)

Hey WG,
Your writing causes me to expand my thinking amazing!!:)
I have read and reread this gem and it continues to refresh. I love the way you weave substance and spirit --the hissing egg, we cover ourselves in leaves. The subtle rhyming pattern supports an internal unity. Luminous writing. Thank you.
Perfect companionship. Nice!
You have captured the image beautifully!
"There are no curtains, no doors
To the room that is your soul"
