beyond the mist of antiquity
Eve wept lilies
to bestow upon Eden
her final gifts of

Perfection,
Light,
Life

bequeathing
a historical symbol
on a world
that had forgotten
the true meaning of
Unity...

    This is simply beautiful Hellon, from the format to word choice, tempo and awesomeness this is straight into my favourites.

    I have to admit at not having the words right now for a proper comment but I had to say something, this is beautiful.

    This is absolutely beautiful...the image of Eve weeping lilies is absolutely gorgeous.

    I also love how you spaced this poem out as it really drew me in, and prompted me to read it just the way you intended. I think you had this posted before, because I vaguely remember it? Gorgeous!

    A proper comment should be given on this piece, but I'm speechless and I'm on my tablet...the swipe key board hates me ....but I'm gonna try. Hellon your poetry is truly captivating!

    Love the elegance of spiraling... Its beautiful to the eye...very pretty shape and you work your magic with this piece.

    The message: Eve's role in history has been tainted, because she ate that damn apple! Her true beauty has been lost.

    I really admire the angle you took with this...just beautiful!

    (I have to stop now, I've been auto corrected way to many times) ha!
