like Adam
the dawning of her breath
upon the chambers of the heart
invoked life
to that which had fallen silent
so, lowering my head before her
i let life flow through these halls
and held out a hand
that echoed Eve's desire
responses monitored
transfered in charts
to the pharmacist
who provides the prescriptions
that allow sanity of mind
in the asylum of emotion
as though a body lies
in some sterile corridor
in some lysol laced room
comatose...
a machine beeps
closely monitoring the condition...
a machine pumps
breathing for lungs unmoved...
the lifeless lying body
______________________
As you might have guessed, this poem was written based off of two ideas that seem to be very different and create a sudden chop after the second stanza. However, the ideas are related and the sudden shift provides a clear process of emotion to thought to emotion and so on. The first is directly related to the emotions experienced by new love(?) or at least the connection felt between two people. The second part is about the value of living. I'll leave the poem to explain the rest.
