The Serpent Life

Does the snake regret the blessing in the fall from grace?

She wraps herself around you, there's no way to escape
The sensation of her scales cold and indifferent
Ghost hands touch glass of a frostbitten window
That spectral souls just wanted to see through for a moment
There is no mercy in reptile eyes.

She forces you to wrestle against her, hissing her siren song
Whispering with the most venomous of seductions
How there's nothing in the stars but she and you
A serpent and visceral man alone focused on a solitary moment
She regrets selling Her the apple.

She wants you to get lost in her selfish hypnotic sway
Asks you with all her facility to dance her rhythms
Seizing you with poison fangs to weaken resolve
Lose yourself, shallow flickering serpentine smile for a moment
You can resist, but for how long?

She knows you cannot escape this embrace; scornful love
Her caress is temptation to blissful easy ignorance
Life becomes effortless if she claims her victories
A life lesser submitted to snake-like values for all moments
Comfort isn't worth circumstance.

She grows apprehensive when you grasp her by the throat
Slyly, she plays coy and reminds you of her necessity
Where could you see without incisive struggle and toil
Sustenance begone! You'd succumb to nothingness in a moment
A ghost next to a frosty pane.

She will never be subdued, she cannot be repressed
Strife unrelenting unforsaken, exalted warrior rising
You choose to wrestle with the serpent daily
Mortal battle until silence stills a scythe at the last moment
Foiling her slithering penance.

This is sssuch, a ssslyly, sssnake ssstory, of sssuch a brilliant ssserpent made up by your mind. I like the sssnake, "AS I SAID IT FIRST WRONG, and used "SNAIL" probably obsessssssed by my own "sssnail" poem ;)LOL in the metaphor of a ssstrong toxic woman, who can be ssslippery as ghost hands touch glasssss of a frostbitten window~ sssuch cold blooded. Poeticly great insssight ;) and in all sssilence, she moves... great sizzzle-tongue practice, and way too good for a ssslang. Thank you for your marvelousss way of thinking~
