A Night In the Swamp

Alligators never blink Bewitching their prey with stares Creatures submerged in the night Deep divers holding their breath Easily hiding away Fearing their discovery Generations have wrestled Hesitant charms and potions Investigating danger Joking and trying to calm Killing them before they kill Left in the depths of despair Maimed combatants cannot run Never to be seen again Open mouths beg for a chance Places in the heart, pulsing Questioning real sanity Responsibile sportsmen wait Sensual dangers are near Trusting in dark destiny Understanding nothing now Visions of regret seep in Wilting melodies of life Xylophone percussions sound Yellow horizons steaming Zero time to turn back now
