The Snake Charmer
Eyes of deep black ebony
Piercing in their focus fixed stare
They watch with their impassioned intent
To strip my soul bare.
Hypnotic harbinger of my fate
The silent slink motion hardly seen
Bending forward with nearness goal
Till energy itself is keen.
Abrupt dart of a black forked tongue
The only secret sign of a hidden glee
In relish with synchronised open jaws
I am lost to which will be.
