Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rhyme

Serpentine Narcissus

My mind hibernates in the void of cavernous complexity,
wakes up in the sensual seasons of mystique living.
The wild psyche forms a sleek and sly unique entity,
as with whisper of intent hiss, dances the reptilian feeling. 

Within the deep cold layers many ancient secrets hide,
the sinuous slither of the silent senses can’t find.
Coiled in still shadows of the verdant world outside,
the echo of hostile footsteps is left to fade behind.       

   A prisoner under the disposable skin of own pedigree,               
with an animated grace of fear in introvert isolation,
I see all the frightened faces flee from me,
as I trace my tortuous path in the web of ardent adulation. 

In self-adoration, as a symbol of style steeped in serenity, 
I see in me a serpentine Narcissus lonely lurk.
Metamorphosed stealthily from an obsessive entity,
it holds the threads of life, waits insulated in the dark.

Sara Jama April 10, 2025 at 9:35 AM Congratulations on placing in my contest. I enjoyed your wordplay in your write. Your use of metaphors is brillant. You wove an elaborate story. Your last stanza "In self-adoration, as a symbol of style steeped in serenity, I see in me a serpentine Narcissus lonely lurk. Metamorphosed stealthily from an obsessive entity, it holds the threads of life, waits insulated in the dark," is gorgeously done.
