Shall We Dance

SHALL WE DANCE Shall we dance, as two snakes encircling one another, A bite to the strike, whom draws the first blood of Passions bitter poison. Venomous vipers, engaged in a twisted game of hidden desires, Shielded by golden bands of confinements vows of promise, Yet yielding under the guise of the serpent’s folk tongue. Reptilian lovers Intertwining, beneath the light rays of the Elliptical moons illumination, deceiver’s side slithering, The truth of reality’s harsh dawning to come. Desert tempest creatures, crushed under the swelling Sand storms of destiny, rising in the winds rip tidal shift Of exotic’s throngs of passion, then dashed upon the Rocks of calamity’s destructive force. Behold the skins of shame, we’ve shed in this our lost Garden of paradise called Eden, as we descend limb By limb, unraveling, retanggling, in a mutual enticement’s Partaking of the unripen fruit, in this the harvested Orchard of deceit, and lies of pleasure spoils. Rattling’s bad to the bone species, are these Deceiver’s dwelling under the moonlight, Loves vanquished, by passions burnt embers Of lusts cold blooded flame. Veracity’s fiercest retile's in mortal combat With their human hearts, or their raw physical Basic instincts, the animal within themselves, The beast of desire, exposing the coiling in raptures After glow of the exotic. In the emerald eyes of the snakes flashing, these Are the transfixed, paralyzed prisoners of loves Passionate vipers, the cursed of the forbidden. Poisons intoxicated figures, silhouetted in the red Moons seduction zone, he the hooded king cobra, And I his empress taipan of the orient. Glittering do our scales of temptation, damnation, Oh but to die in this incoilment’s display of eternal Abandonment, a climatic apex of poisonous predators, Ripping, tarring at their bare exposed fleshes Atonement, unsheived are these carnivores Of passion. Shall we dance, as two snakes encircling one another, A bite to the strike, whom draws the first blood Of passions bitter poison. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
