Venomous Victory

I've seen the snakes pierce eyes into my mind Now everyone slithers Beneath what they shine Kindness casts shadows Curses cast light Casting their skin To merge with the night The silence screams torturous torment throughout A calming peace beneath when they shout Laughter in every letter pronounced Raking for light through every doubt Then comes the sting of a scorpion Piercing its tail through the past Releasing a remedy Revealing the enemy With the dawn of daylight at last Silent thoughts slipped through my eyes Danced with the darkness Lit up the skies Revelled in star light Raised the sun Praised persistence Dazed and fun The path to a crash crawled up to my feet Like the light of a light house A dark Angel to greet Delved into the dark For dark was now day Jagged rocks in light Soft seas sent my way Venom that leaked like tears out my wound I squeezed past the pain Of what I'd assumed Tuned into reality Mentality forgiven Listened out for snakes Silence They'd all given in Dusted myself down Darted away into the sunset Life's too short to waste away Worrying about one regret
