He returned to that place that is no more, II

 

....for he had overcome 

temptation

whilst giving in

for he'd been rejected

whilst tempted

and fallen

- o yes, fallen -

from universe's origin

he even spoke

to the Expelled

and found pity

in his heart

O he had travelled - so far 

- so deep - so fast - 

it scarred his very soul

'hold me' he cried

and we did not - until

he swore, cussed and

cried out his pain 

and a love

in a million curses

that were more than

angelic kisses....
