In the heart of the Spring,
The flowers were blooming,
And Eve was floatin’ free.
She said “Maybe you can take a little
Drive with me,
Your nature can be mine.”
Eve said give me your hand,
Gentle as you may,
Feel my skin softly,
It’s enough to make you pray.
She said “Maybe you can take a little
Drive with me,
Your nature can be mine.”
She showed him a rose,
Put it in a rope,
He gave it a tug,
Then the stem broke.
She said “Maybe you can take a little
Drive with me,
Your nature can be mine.”
Adam turned to her,
Told her knowledge is king,
When Paradise is lost,
We can rewrite everything.
He said “Maybe you can take a little
Drive with me,
Your nature can be mine.”
Bear to bare,
Bee to be,
Never mind our nature,
You can buy yourself free.
He said “Maybe you can take a little
Drive with me,
Your nature can be mine.”
He pulled Eve’s ear and whispered,
What’s the cost of your mind?
He took a bite of a snake,
Told her it’s sweet as apple pie.
He said “Maybe you can take a little,
Drive with me,
Your nature can be mine.”
Author Bio:
P.J. Lenox started writing poetry at the age of 12 after an English teacher brought a cassette tape to class of Langston Hughes reading his poetry. He was moved and struck by the flow, imagery, and emotion of the jazz and blues based writing style. This style, as well as topics ranging from politics to nature still continue to influence his writing style today. He frequently finds inspiration for writing while watching birds, bees, fishermen on the beach, and sunsets in his garden. His Bachelor's degree in psychology enhances the cultural and social topics often found in his poetry. P.J. has had one poem, "Thought is a Mailbox" published and is currently working on a volume of poetry "Your Nature Can Be Mine" to be published in the distant future.
