The Poison Encounter Poem by Debolina Chakrabarti

I saw that snake again! ! ! -
A chill ran down my spine at its sight
A distance fancy gathered in the darkest of my mind-
I could feel its cold poison- touch yet over me again! !
Pathetic! ! I had fought with its killing venom once-
I prayed hard to find the creature dead, once and for all.
But it still occupies its place- the old gold chest! !
I lifted the cover with trembling hands, and the hiss grew louder...
I took another careful glance at the creature's mesmerizing poison- eyes, -
And prayed to see it for the last time ever.
I locked the chest up with tight fetters, and threw the chest in the sea.
The keys too I buried deep in the banks, so it never comes across to anybody.
I returned to my folks; the secret of this brief poison- re- encounter buried deep in me, - like the cursed gold chest and its key! ! -
