Late In The Garden

Late at night

in the garden

Nobody raised the lights

Could’ve been

Leafy and green

But I could not

See for sight

I was bare on a wire

Born a long time before tonight

Wear my garland of desire

And I shut my eyes so tight

Hair so dark and long

Switching a Grecian flank

Legs were just as strong

Full mind now rendered blank

Well I had some wits

But I lost them as she mouthed along

And my world it split

To the perfect song,

“He Ain’t Give You None”,

she said —

It’s a testament

To all the grace and work

I couldn’t muster a laugh

No I dare not smirk

Couldn’t betray it wouldn’t work

No one could tell but

Deep inside

I was bound for my eternities

with hands untied

Down in the Garden
