The serpent's evil doctrine he'd tried to inflict
Tore peaceful communities assunder; causing conflict
The ghost soldiers would come in the dead of night
Taking on the evil serpent with firepower and might.

They would infiltrate the serpent's lair and be in disguise
And unleash hit and run tactics with...

The Serpent Is Dead
Twilight fell onto my 
  windowsill

Demon fire in full 
  retreat

The stars above
  glowing pulls on a rug

Woven deep into the blackness
  I sleep

Days grip is unchained
  the cantor sings as he prays

As St. Michael cries
  THE SERPENT UNDONE

Once Upon a Time Everything was Perfect in Eden, NSW, Australia

Premium Member Serpent and the Cranium
Warm smooth coils round 
my head 
scales tickle my forehead 
I want to scratch 
quick tongue laps my ear 


The body moves… languid 
like water over smooth rock
Or is the snake inside 
my head? 

Is there only one or many 
seething and writhing?  
Is...

Sea Serpent
I saw it on a stormy night
When lightning struck the sea,
The waves crushed on the sand with might
the wind howled endlessly.

I stood upon the  midnight shore
The rain cold on my face,
The echo of the oceans roar
A haunting sound embrace.

Then with the lightning flash I...

As the serpent, the government begins to drop wisdom.
Making you believe everything is for the best.

The Serpent
I am the one who once traveled by flight and foot
And now I slither around on my round-body
My tongue has always been and still is split in half
In my first stage of life my speeches consisted of fire-bursts, ice-shards, smoke rings, and whirling-wild-winds
Now my speeches...

The Serpent, and the Rainbow
He's on Her, Like The Serpent,

Uncontrolled, Speaking VooDoo,
Dolls Talk, Forcefully Desired,

Serpent Woman
Mirrors remind her she must live alone
Everything she sees, she turns to stone 
Dismal future she now faces
Ugly snakes upon her head like laces
She is a gorgon, Medusa is her name
Athena punished her, for beauty was her shame...

GARDEN OF THE HEART
GARDEN OF THE HEART 

I am the Garden
In me all things live
In me nothing is forgotten 
Here we enter 
After being done with the Serpent 
Flamed or in darkness 
When the Cross enters from below 
We die, never to be reborn

Over naked breasts and belly
Shadows...

Ode To the Myrrh Tree
ODE TO THE MYRRH TREE


So the tree stood in the centre of the desert
Mangled by winds of change and truth of joy
and chains of dust and torrents of rare rain 


Burnt black and senseless by an 
unrelenting Sun of nightmare beauty
And orange was the sand...
