~copperhead~ Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

I'll bring you my poison on a silver platter
served up hot or cold,
as either extreme suits well my emotions.

Take your pick...hatred, bitterness, distrust
jealousy, rage,
I'll bring them all if you so wish.

Watch me coil in angst
while shadows fade toward the lighter fluff.....
Those paling, washed out calms
and placid laid back yawns,
Rolling unblinking eyes back
so that shadows fill where green once glared.

But even so,
what runs deep always surfaces.
Come step within these hollows,
See what I see
Feel what I feel,
Know every pulse beats full
as venom beats black this heart,
And floods every inch
of me.
