The wrath of a serpent

by Merrianeth Merramin
Diamond beady preying eyes of black silk
Of silent evil and devilry that swirls within the creature
The darkest venom that boils in its fangs
A fountain of death now ready to spring forth for the kill

Cunningly she glides with the softest rhythm
While the night conceals her evil intent; the moonlight admiring her scaly skin
Beauty and innocence she portrays and wins the love of the weak
Toy and dance with her prey she must, it is only the prerequisite of what is to come
Calmly she encircles her next meal as though to embrace it

Till her gray fangs at last deep themselves, drinking the warm blood
Venom fast releasing to the quickest and darkest of deaths
This is an evil too black to describe with ink
Dark as it may be, this is the truth of what she conceals within
The portal to hell - the wrath of a serpent
But why did she ever befriend me at first?
Let others and the author know if you liked it

Liked it alot?

Adolescence versus reality. The world of toys and football is displaced by the discovery of a strange creature - girls! Witness the pain of the transformation from childhood to teenage hood.

What could be more wonderful than an oxymoron, or the fact that a coin has two sides? I mean isn't it wonderful when something thought to be purely one thing shows an opposing side; a beautiful side - making it seem out of place? Enjoy!

Waiting for Love

Waiting for Love

It's not me I'm writing about but it's about the amazing strength of patience that will not relent. Patience once described by William Shakespeare as "Patience that waits upon a monument" - How long would you wait for dead love?

Can beauty be seen in it's most smallest unit? Like the individual coloured threads in a carpet, can we see the beauty of each one or only in a collective sense? The stars at night can tell of this, enjoy and please comment

Lies of a Soothsayer

Lies of a Soothsayer

Are all lies a wicked egress? Perhaps lies can be a comfort when the reality is too dark to accept. A fabrication of fantasy could be the only way to soothe or combat the ever frightening reality! Enjoy and please comment

Is there something in our infant years that makes us grow up differently; separates the strong from the weak, the valiant from the cowardly? What makes us the way we are? Or was it something from our mothers' milk??? Enjoy and please comment
