Ouch! I have just been bitten by a snake
Oh! Little creepy creature; swift little bastard
Your venom is quick and sedative
Your poison is hostile to my bloodstream
Yet, it is relaxing and intoxicating
Explains why I am seeing one thing as though they were two
You filthy crawling demon, why would you have such beauty?
You have the cuteness of a newborn
Your eyes carry the ignorance of a bunny
And when you raise your head, tilting your fish-like neck forward
Even the breeze move slowly caressing your velvety bod
Aware of the havoc you are about to wreck
Sitting here, helpless and weak
As life slowly leaves my body
I refuse to let your venom tint the sweet memories I relished for so long
Fred, my cousin is here now but, the worm is long gone
Far into the abyss of the rest of the world
She left me; the serpent I married as a wife
Something must kill a man
But this is not a good way to go.

To think it was Eve that was deceived by the Old serpent 🤔 ….Learnt from the master. (Literally)
Beautiful piece
Hello sir, Thank you very much for your contribution. We also thought the same but perspective 😉
Got motivated in a way with your choice and use of words… Your disguise in the use of irony and personification makes me wonder how your old age is adjusting perfectly to the not so old neck. There’s always something to learn from your comment.
Nice write up
Thank you very much for reading sir
