A snake is not a snake
The day comes When a snake is not a snake Slithering, scared less Silent screams as I shake A snake is a dream turned nightmare Labored breaths and cold sweat Visions of a snake-filled hall I've not endured yet Then, a snake is fevered Half hour shower on the ground Climbing straight into bed Without burning a cloud A snake is the process Of turning fear into guilt A...

O raja reigning is the light of all lights electric rays beaming oscillating waves I embody my spirit in a physical form I kindly request her divinity to roam beseeching with contrition She begins to uncoil at my very core, sonorous hissing ensues as she journeys thru she breaches my walls of defiance as she performs her purification ridding...

Rain and Snake
I crawl through darkness — small, scared, biting at shadows to keep my life, to keep my fear away. I hold my breath, keep still, hiding trembling beneath the strike, trying not to break, trying not to pour my heart out. Everyone sees the fight — the flash of scales, the flicker of anger — but no one sees the fear that claws beneath the surface, the quiet battle I...

A snake and a frog
Out of a hole near a pond so small, A baby frog gives a croaky call. But mama frog is nowhere around— A snake lies waiting; dangers abound. The baby frog peeks out of the hole— It knows its fate—no frog would console. With fear, it leaps out into the pond; From there, it finds a way to abscond. It doesn't know snakes...

The Sight of Your Lies
Lord knows the Devil I encountered. Hidden hypocrisy swayed naivety I exuded. Smiling with grace but crossing betrayal behind your back while holding my hand with the other. Delicate melodies of grace strumming along inconspicuous quos while feeding me with Eden’s fruit hung in God’s hand. Mirages of desolated oases surrounded you, A pity fool I became at your wits playing me instead....

The Serpent's Tale
They call us snakes. Evil. Cold blooded. Cruel. Why would you say that when learning someone was diagnosed with a mental disorder that was out of their control? Oh, but right, you hear about it on crime shows and boisterous podcasts, so that makes you a licensed-to-judge therapist. You hear about it in shootings, thievery,...

Premium Member Painted Snake
Aaro stands still and sees a snake among green leaves. What she thinks, she becomes, her eyes wide as new moons. The painted snake moves without moving, its path already chosen. "I can make things real too," whispers Aaro to herself. Each day she plants a thought like a seed in dark soil. Each night she waters it with dreams that never sleep. The snake found its...

SNEAKY SLIMY SLITHERING SERPENTY SNAKE
The sneaky, slimy, slithering, squirming snake silently sat shamefully, Stupendously-stumped. The seated, sizzling, sneaky, slimy, slithering serpent still stupendously-stumped, Squirmed slowly searching signaling scents. With no stopping the squirming, silently-sneaky, slithering, shamefully-stumped serpent searching sign, the snake slithers sizzling surround sound. Only with punishment, the slithering, slimy, silent, shamefully-stumped serpent stops sin-searching. Now, be a bumble bee, buzzling big bumble bubbles...
