Untitled Poem by Jim David Morris

gaze into the eyes
of a voodoo girl
no one gets out alive
reveal the spiral
awake
osculate the great serpent
by the vast and ancient lake
not to repent
deep blue, beneath the serene moon
they watch over and croon
lost in a trance
burning desire
dance
around a diminishing fire
another chance
a new temple rises, same mistake
lost in a romance
lady snake
im fearful
of the coop
a world seen in clear crystal
tangled in a loop
wake dreams, hopeless augury
hideous laughter, drowning in mockery
laden under a spell insane
oh, disdain
we'll meet again
