The snake slips out of its skin
but never changes
Its tongue makes me nervous
But it's harmless
Its teeth--the venom is
What you watch for
You're the snake that I fear now
My stomach pain increases
With the thought of yr love
Yr poison is yr tongue--and touch
And when I behead you
I will peel yr skin to find yr soul
And make a robe of vengence with it
Very well written about the betrayal and the revenge there after.. the snake analogy is excellent..very good write.
A snake is a snake always. It can change the outer layer of its skin. But the venom inside will remain fatal for ever.
I feel betrayal, disappointment, anger and vengeance embedded n this poem. Love betrayal can be very painful to generate vengeance. Beautiful poem
My late daddy ate snake meat during wartime, I was not born yet, he said it tastes like chicken meat. BTW An excellent poem, dear LeeAnn. TOP Marks!
Believe me. I know people like this. / I will peel yr skin to find yr soul / And make a robe of vengence with it / Unfortunately in real life we seldom get the chance to do this. Great poem.
