The Cobra's Agenda

The Cobra's Agenda

A Poem by Empirik

Control bitten by the Cobra that got away
Living inside the pipes like roots from the trees
Stopping the flow of water, escaping its home
Auger bound to extract the venom and sever the blockage
Flushing out the snake from its lockage
Giving back life to a dying wish
Sealed with a poisonous kiss

Mystics swirling around like a discus
Preparing to release a powerful hibiscus
Building energy, wing loading and power
Aiming at that flower to perfectly swoop through the tower
Under the bridge, across the water and more
Walking on the edge to be read as folklore
For children to remember forever as they cross through that door

Finding another world of fantasy, and later responsibility
To hear it see, and feel it bee…real
Searching the globe far a wide for the everlasting heal
The fountain of youth, treasured playtime or harvesting that plant
Which will eliminate the flanking word "can't"
Inducing a more intelligent forever existing chant
Reaching out to those you listen and photographing true glisten

Raindrops on a mission with gravities dimension
It falls in its one and only last session
Putting to rest the idea of the best
Opening up to a critical mess
In a position of guided circumstances and false charge
Enlarge, loosing balance and falling into a trap
Waking up deep in the illusive serpent's nap

Nice imagery in this, very nice vocabulary as well. For writing this late at night as you said in your author's note, this is a really nice poem. Nice music as well.

This honestly felt like it has a Metal tone to it than the music you had picked. Or maybe i am thinking more of RUSH. either way, liked it.

This is amazing, actually I was going to tell you about what I dreamt tonight. You're that connected to me as some parts of my dream are equal to me. The way this is constructed, gives me the intense feeling of all what you feel, and see, and try to achieve. The gravity of the raindrops is a good example of natures art, to science, that all can be down to earth, even the elusiveness, your head, and legs, in the weight of the world, and love feel. Splendid and rich, and with a lot of spirituality interwoven, in daily basic life facts and precious art. I like the deeper thought here, as I see some deep universal you for the first time so clearly. My compliments! The music gives the perfect wholeness into all of it.

No need to repeat words of this caliber. They are magnetically like quicksilver.

P.s. great 7 lined structure, as it's an holy thing... ;)

Wonderful work, my soul! X

This was a terribly articulate palette of masucline angst to me. Some of the symbolism was just so outsanding I was wowed like:

1. Stopping the flow of water, escaping its home
2. Preparing to release a powerful hibiscus
