The Snake Charmer

She has eyes like a magnet, that pulls one in To a steel web where there is no escape Then she licks her lips as she watches you Tease and taunt you, tell you where you have been And her evil smile, that is her type of rape Telling you what will happen to you A Black Widow Spider's heart and cold to the bone A forked tongue of a snake and she will hiss The Devil's child, you are her toy The Queen of Evil sits on her throne The kiss of death is her kiss It is you she wants to destroy You search for a way out, you beg to be free Desperate, as if there is no hope Crawling you are at your wit's end She begs you to flee To hang yourself, she gives you more rope Then hugs you like a long lost friend Freedom is something in a long lost dream To the salt mines, ball and chain Her poison, is your water to drink All the time she is thinking of another evil scheme So her pleasure will be your pain Escape, is all you can think For every tunnel has some light After a fog lifts, there will be sunshine Following every storm, it will be calmer Sometimes it takes a lot of wrong to be right And goodness will not die on the vine Even the snake will bite the snake charmer

I was really enjoying the poem, Danny, and you hit it out of the ballpark with your last verse. Every line is so profound! One for my favorites. Excellent! Love, Carolyn
