Snake CharmerA Poem by Lauren N. Rodriguez
Play that tune again
Watch me rise from the basket Spiraling up, You've signed your casket Hypnosis, I'm hooked Look at what you've done Have you no shame, As u watch me come undone? Keep playing, I beg Need the sound of music Dancing right out Do you see how it soothes me? Controlling... Controlling... You love that high Master, I beg Let me be shy The quickening pace The sinking sand I'm falling from grace Right where I stand Slither Slather Would you rather, Let me free? See me run? Let me be, And watch the sun Reptilian folklore This legend I'll be You're the charmer And I the serpent Let me out! With a venomous bite Yes, master I wish to leave But not without a fight Attack! Sneakily, I prey Deceived you with a dance When I bite you this way Close your eyes Your vulnerability I trust Shut them tight As the pain will erupt You played your tricks Straight out of the book Content that I've read them Before my heart you took Now who can be blamed For your faulty actions? What did you expect? What sort of reaction? I laugh as you fall Now who has the charm? Don't need your fancy music To pull this alarm Such a wicked serpent Yes I have disobeyed Bit the hand that guided me But only in vain Sing your last song On your way to the grave This is the last song Of your snake charmer ways © 2013 Lauren N.
