Outside Eden

I am my father’s son, yes
Expectations succumbed to satisfaction
The forbidden fruit sure was delicious
But unlike him, I am blaming no one.
Not my wife, serpent, not even I
My conscious choice willed freely
I am confident that grandpa knew
His rats wouldn’t just guard the cheese
Omnipotent! Omniscient! sure He knew.


The consequences are unforgiving though
Nakedness wrapped up in shame as promised
Anguishing life outside Eden, unbearable
Peeping through the pearly-white gates
Sometimes I wish I were the prodigal son
But out here, I have stockpiles of apples
Oh so scrumptiously satisfying
If grandpa were to wipe my slates clean
He would have to cut that damn tree down


I am my mother’s child indeed
Her wild side in me, I am adventurous
No bruise to prove broken laws’ claim,
But not knowing is an incurable disease.
I would blame the serpent too, but how can I
Mother touched fire now I know it burns
I also know how the flames can feed me
I shall venture on future waves prideful
Uncertain maybe, my choices nonetheless


Rapadoo,

I Swear

I love you, I swear

Body, mind, and soul I dare

I do said forever

For better or worse as we prepare

Our endless journey together

Up and down destiny's stairs

Like fish love water

I love you, I swear

Long-side the flawless rivers,

My love for you declared

Then into my eyes you stared

And expressed how much you cared

There we became a pair

With everlasting love to share

Like oxygen in the air,

I love you, I swear

To none dare I compare

You my sweet tender bear

As blue moons are you rare

Picturesque like spring flowers

Loving as you are fair

Trusting as you are square

All in all beware

I love you, I swear

Rapadoo,

Death Becomes Love

Death to thee, red rose
Thine petals swallow mine’s sunlight
Empty promises of protection deceives
Eden’s prophecy loses eternal delight
Now this tulip snows brownish leaves
And death becomes love

Love in a dozen,
Twelve bloody pieces of a broken heart
Love in a dozen,
Twelve sure ways for love to fall apart

Death to thine aroma, rose
Thine intrusion chokes mine’s oxygen
Releasing lethal gas of despair & hate
Incision through the soul as a surgeon
Senses of love now in comatose state
And death becomes love

Love by the dozen,
Twelve cutthroat jurors, guilty verdict
Love by the dozen,
Twelve consecutive lives, love a convict

Death to thine legacy, rose
In the arms of the wind youth marvels
Eagles in flight masters of the deep blue
Blood loyalty among offspring sparkles
Yet déjà vu’s predictions reveal but rue
And death becomes love


Rapadoo,

Jasmine

I discovered my sun 
hiding inside your smile. 
Rising, setting 
all that I have ever been 
Your killer eyes 
stained my fatalist mind
Reducing to ashes
all that I hoped to be
Ironical that my world
simply crashed
At the hands of your
intoxicating beauty


Rapadoo,

Misunderstood

Beyond the darkness immersing this grave,
Echoes of my black tears reach death valleys
Searching among shadows inhabiting this cave
Empathy’s hideout seems to be in death alleys

                                   ~!~

Sun’s allegiance to friendship’s loyalty was true
Atmosphere became thick with promises’ aroma
Even convinced star communities to pledge too
Yet inevitability befell him, dusk imposed his coma
                                   ~!~

Wrapped around the silence of this dead land
Stillness has stolen rhythm from my cold heart
Now an alien to Hade’s kingdom, my homeland
Understanding and I couldn’t grow further apart


Rapadoo,

Only if I Could

If only I could cry my way into depression’s kingdom
Myriads of joys would hide in every teardrop
Invading army with an annihilation command
Ensuring this freed sun victory over dark clouds
And implant auras of felicity in your inner core

If only I could live right into immortality’s palace
Swim alongside in zealous fountains of youth
Each pore on this cutis would pocket mouthfuls
Showering your pristine smile with ageless rain
And Renounce sadness’ desperate assaults

If only I could jump straight into space gigantic lap
Entice brightest stars with clever ambuscades
I would clay sculpture your own blue moon
Light source swallowing this darkness whole
And create buoyant spirits clearing your paths

If only I could sprint my way through time’s racetrack
Racing ancient clock, future, mulish destiny
Speed of light, my shoes, would outrun them
Altering their egos, predictably changing fates
And remove all obstacles shielding your happiness
Only if I could


Rapadoo,

Waterfall!

Cascading your essence over my world,
Your effervescent streams of seduction
With residual steams from the last storm
Syncretize incessantly on the hill top

Rainbows of sensation umbrella my sky
Perpetual showers of cloudless passions
Reach my core to drown my fantasies
I love you waterfall, my only obsession


Rapadoo,

Sweet Death

Angel of death
You have stolen my breath
Black blood is stagnant in my veins.
Before my soul submerges in darkness
Collect all of me to make me whole

I am the broken heart
Victim of tabooed love
She is the broken flesh
Sacrificial lamb of love

So sweet death
Take away my rhythm too
This, my drum refuses to beat anew
Her cold illusions freeze my ardor
Her melodies stray out of my lead

Break my flesh angel
Immolation for love
A broken heart is no use
Without hope to love

Angel of death
Transport my soul across the Styx
Bind my heart with its lost rhythm
For as the moon belong to the night
My love shall abide with its breath
Rapadoo,

New Season

I rise, and then I drop
Like dancing indicators on graphic equalizers
Waving in admiration of the marching notes
Then I rise again

Your intense breaths slice through my flesh
Like warm gold on the shivering horizons
Each blink unfolds a new slide grunting,
Panting and unyielding
My capricious desires trapped in your grace

So you dip, then you slide
Like the commanding hands of a conductor
Leading her orchestra in surprising symphony
Then you dip again

Your waist spins my world inside a cocoon
Protecting her pupa like an insect
The way your slick fingers tattoo my skin
And sculpt memories like Polaroid cameras
Generates yet again a brand new season


Rapadoo,

Purloined Dream

Scars from your agonizing batons
Ruthlessly hound my bruised silence.
Fate’s dust has settled on my rights
Your peers enforced lynching laws

Carved on your walls an illusion reads,
Burden of proof exonerates innocence.
As stereotypical prints kiss evidence,
History predicts systematic iniquities

The Rumors behind her lavish lifestyle
Rationalize her predetermined rulings.
Blinded to only half of the rainbow,
Lady Justice operates a court of flaws.

Future weeps, her babies slaughtered.
Minds languish on clock’s short hand.
Anomic guiding stars seek tour guides.
A mysterious moon wanes incessantly.

"I have the right to remain silent not the right to be silenced."


Rapadoo,

Phenomenal Existence

And if you didn’t exist,
Why would my love have even hatched?
Your gravity keeps my reality aground
Pheromones of you anchors my sanity

If fireworks lambada with my night
Your eyes are dangling over my world
And should your buzzing draw near
My intensity spread her petals wider

But without your existence
What reason would there be for my being?
My rivers flow solely for your ocean
Imperfections of you fuel my passion

If butterflies rainbow over my senses
Your spontaneity is announcing spring
And hooked to your sophisticated smile
I forever radiate your Picasso horizon

And if your love didn’t exist
Why would my breath have even persisted?
Breeze in my leaves, Shades on my ground
Rain shower of my soul you are, my love


Rapadoo,

Drowning

Naturally, I became the falling rain
Gushing down like infuriated bees
Seeking to inflict maximum reprisals
Inside the dreams of her betrayals

But eventually the rain is the pain
Forty days and forty nights of acid
Deteriorating any signs of benevolence
Spilling my pride into endless ripples

Then suddenly more pain yields no gain
My mind captures some roses, sinking
I see her face vanishing into my anguish
She’s a shooting star; I, a lunar eclipse  

Numbness obsesses over muddy emotions
Forbidding luminance of tomorrow’s sky
Now rain, pain are drawn to disdain
So naturally self-destruct, I drown


Rapadoo,

Hidden Proposal

He loves me; he loves me not she starts
Giggles released on every petal dismissed
Gentle breeze caresses her lax, ruby hair
Daylight slept early to dream this reality
Nighttime fragrances invade noses about
                        ~**~
He loves me; he loves me not continues
This night azure vision never been brighter
Glitters want to escape her fabulous dress
As more petals float around, in slow motion
Swimming in wind waves to nearby ponds
                        ~**~
He loves me; he loves me not smiles persist
Half naked, that single rose bares even more
Tension creeps up my spine, nervous sweats
A soft whisper in her ears, turn around now
She hasn't been prettier, prom night's jealous
                         ~**~
He loves me; he loves me not perseveres
One ultimate petal will reveal inevitability
Naively giggling away jitters, she's focused
Fondling her back, position assumed behind
Is she witnessing her sun setting due east?
                         ~**~
He loves m.. Oh.. My.. God! She exclaims.
Sparkling last petal, precious diamond ring,
Sudden turn, marry him! Jazz quartet sings
Speechless teardrops on bended knee, stunned
                         ~**~
Off my knees, on my back, forget the leather
Strings of yeses wrestle me aground, literally
He loves me, he sure does, he loves me, yes!
I love you too! Oh yes I do, sweetest kisses

Rapadoo,

Promenade

Upon these beds of tranquil serenity
Overlooking vibrant shorelines’ amenity
This moon’s glowing bottom rests wet
On ocean’s lap, riding gentle waves’ jet
With soft fingers tickling our sandy feet

Hands in hands, steps for steps
Unknown destination, blissful interaction
Words simply hushed, gallant promenade

Upon these beds of tranquil serenity
Overlooking vibrant shorelines’ amenity
These resolute little candles do the shake
Struggling with bulling wind to stay awake
To witness perfection’s moon dance aglow

Side by side, smile for smile
Pulsating emotions, magical satisfactions
Egotism simply crushed, casual promenade

Upon these beds of tranquil serenity
Overlooking vibrant shorelines’ amenity
These cryptically behaving waves blush
Caressing footprints off sands with a brush
To make sure such delight is known to none


Rapadoo,

Dreams on Fire

Oh stranger my heart slaves inside your gaze.
As you walked by, I became a Fatalist soul
Shackled inside many shameless fantasies
Such is the destiny of my cocky egocentrism
 Alone against quick sands in the hour glass
You tango in my head, my dreams catch fire

Oh stranger your gaze slaves inside my heart
Prophesies never predicted such sweet death
Concealing in a casual stroll of femme fatale
Raging sand storms, lightning strikes but once
Death at first sight is the irony of purest love
You tango in my head, my dreams catch fire


Rapadoo,
