The Book of Love(Genesis)



Cupid casted a bow and set of arrows to his new brother
Then he smiled and gave a kiss upon the cheek of his mother
This new child was quite energetic and wild
He could be dark as Poe and deep as Wilde
A baby boy so intune with mother nature's entity
A baby boy so full of blossomed love
A baby boy so happy and filled with positive energy
This gift of a baby boy was brought from above

My name is William, also known as Professor Frost
I believe I was brought on this earth to spread the warmth of love
For love is pure and something celestial in characteristic
I deliver the word to those whom have seemed to have missed it
Then I continue to preach the feeling, exploring the lands as a dove

Never perfect though, remember this dove once lost his wings
Now I've regained my ways, let the heavens sing
Amen
