Long before the clocks ticked,
the garden was burning
The law had been laid down,
only the animals ran free
Long before the clocks ticked,
two lovers were yearning
The power, the struggle
—the lust to deceive
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)

Kurt, this is an impressive write.
My interpretation is this poem begins (with a world before time as we know it) in the Garden of Eden.
I suspect the two lovers were Adam and Eve and the lust to deceive defines their eating from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
Just my take, but either way I loved it. 🙂
Your perceptions are spot on!
Thanks Tamara
Kurt
