Swift in liquid motion
holding pictures of his lie
his eyes avert commotion
as Eden’s apples tumble by
another river yet unknown
for care is lost downstream
the softest birds have long since flown
by way of what we dream
for inside eyes of aged river days
breathes the memories that hide
behind the softest days of haze
in contrast to the tide
as simple as the oar will move
through yet another crime
one knows there’s little left to prove
or perhaps just little time...

Wow~! Someone after my own heart. I love poems that flow like this, and rhyme, and have a deep message. I often write like this, tho the meager amount of poetry I've posted here could hardly reflect that. Keep up the great work.
