Desire

Desire

A Poem by Leah Mayes

intoxicating slither 

to elude your senses

auspiciously crawling 

under your fences


pretenses...


of judgement 

will soon be compromised

as the head and heart 

are often ill-advised


realized...


and unprepared 

for the craving of a diamond back

a patient endeavor 

and controlled attack


hold back...


and watch 

as axioms contaminate

her longing obsessions 

are willing to violate


just wait...


to reveal 

a victim of chance

you were the one 

who asked for this dance


last chance...


to run

while your veins are still full

this snake will bite 

and her poison will rule


don't be a fool...
