Rattle Snake
Gliding, as it sways,
Right and left it slides,
Its venom hisses echo,
It slithers, and then it hides,
Maliciously glaring,
Its eyes like two balls of glass,
Venomously staring…
It rattles its tail,
“Ssss!”
It whispers,
Spreading its poison in the air…
“Ssss!” “Ssss!”
Again and again,
It leisurely slinks around itself,
Round and round
It twists and turns,
“Ttsssttt!”
Its tail clatters,
As it bitterly moves forward,
Drenching the atmosphere with acrimony,
With its sourness,
The sun shines on its skin,
As the crimson color of it
Flickers, resembling blood…
A reflection of pure, toxic venom…
“Ssss!” “Ssss!”
“Ssss!”
“Ssss!”
These hisses revived me,
As you talked to me…
My eyes were positioned on your tongue,
As your words indirectly lied to me…
It twisted and turned around itself,
Round and round
As lies began to drench it…
Your venom deceit,
Like the saliva that submerges your tongue…
