About This Poem

Venomous

Sycophantic, glide from thine forked tongue,
Coated with honey and romance sung.
But I see thine serpent's glean,
Mannerisms but happily serene.

Thou hath no mercy to spare,
Mine vulnerability canst compare.
Tears descend like melancholy rain,
Hearts collected form a lover's chain.

Teardrops linked from a broken heart
A chink resides in the loneliest part.
Conquering all with savoir faire,
Thou void of all love to share.

Come hither thou serpent beguiling,
Poison spills from sweet lips asmiling
Capture this jewel for thine collection,
Fear not mine hardened rejection.

Coiling prepared to strike,
Receiving thou ardor bite.
I be one of the many jewels,
Crowning gem of ardent fools.
