Purgatory in Paradise

At sunrise there is love

When the sun hit high noon, hell

Heat burnt our skin

Sweat beaded on our bodies

Seduction is your sight

Hindrance is your mind

The warm rain washed sin

The dusk cooled the heat

And before I knew, all was dark

Night time we dream of love

That we can’t see in day

It’s purgatory in paradise

Between the thin horizon line

of love and pain
