The Vapid Snake & I

The Vapid Snake & I

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

HE is the Algae on the stone
at the bottom of a lake
I am the waterfall and foam
the rapid and it's wake
HE is colorless and blindly
groping for one breath
I am the rain and kindly
cradling all life and Spring
Quenching the thirst of death
HE is as un-renown as any thief
vapid and cowardly hides and keeps
secrets and nothing new
just a creep   (HE is untrue)...
I am love and open sky
Vulnerable as gold to the greed
of lusting eyes
I am heart and shine of light
I am truth and I am right
I have no fear
but will to fly.
HE is shallow and just shadows
kingdom forgotten in the gallows
fracture and old sorrows
no more soul to borrow...
Still I am vision  I am marrow
every peak and flight of sparrow
I am days
of bright tomorrows...
He is a vapid snake
nothing new.
While I am the Love
and the Life
in all of you.
Sunrise
&
Absolute.

how interesting!!!! a bit of the riddle for sure ?? ... there are ecological destroyers and humanity's responsibilities .. there is spiritual battles ... with darkness as our flesh .. but your closing is victorious (me the optimist) i place greater weight on those last verses ... i especially enjoy and harold that third from last ...
"He is a vapid snake
nothing new."
we have no need to give that snake anything more than "..nothing knew" :) love that!
