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
