Beautiful Dream It Was

Beautiful dream it was
but an empty one it was
a lady with snake head
hugging me passionately

Her nose was orange fruit
the eyes two small suns
fingers were sharp knives
dress she wore hot charcoal

Beautiful dream it was
dangerous but full of joy
enticing but for nothing
helpless I was with her

Alone and scared I woke up
the beautiful ghost missing
right in front of me stood
a robber with sword in hand
