Irksome Irrationality Poem by Shreej k.c

Oh, you beautiful lake!
Here, I sit at your bank again and stare
at the serenity you never fail to share.
As much as I adore you, I fear
not that you might swallow me into your depth
nor that your depth might prove shallow to mine.
I fear, in fact, the serpentine
that slithered, a day, out of your womb.
Oh, how I fear the ruthless venom!

Eyes go green as the setting sun kisses
and you glitter, the seamless resplendence.
Did I ever?
Do I still? ?
Stop asking me rational questions
My answers sound irrational to me!
