Public Serpents

often, those who piously claim to be

                  taxpayers' servile servants

                    are but public serpents!

Serpents Will Bite

Everything but Josh
What is mission?
Hospitals everywhere
That how I get scared?
Let  mayhem float away
Accept it? Good as dead!

Pipe Down

The ladies all have a giggle
At girls with boobies that jiggle
But when they look down
They all tend to frown
At men with serpents that wiggle!

Voters, Beware

Many candidates 

      for public office

            who claim to be 

            public servants

       oftentimes turn out 

to be public serpents.

Hieroglyphics of Heaven

Serpents in Egypt engraved images for each being
Unveiling the lack of discursive reasoning in the heavens
Not manmade patterns to represent sounds and reasonings

~seasonal serpents
       poisonous serpentine shapes...
           slither salty seas

Paradise Lost

.                   Heaven
              peaceful, infinite
  mesmerizing, adoring, celestial
Angels, Saints, Demons, Serpents
            wretched, hideous
                      Hell

Blessings and Curse Both In One

Tiresias- the man and woman
was cursed by the matting serpents clan,
Passionate Hera
built his blind era,
Zeus blessed him prophecy with no fan!

Squirrel

It lives in forests
among serpents he stays
all serpents vanished
their skeleton unknown
but when squirrel
jumps tree to tree
hunters take off
believing horror serpent
is back on stage

Monster I'Ve Become

Selfishness runs through my blood
It flows through my veins like hot lava
It seethes in my mind like burning coal
It rips through my flesh like tiny serpents
It's made me the monster I am today

Premium Member Burn To Fly

As Pegasus arose
From Medusa slain,
So the Phoenix grows
From necessary flame.

Ingest your serpents' venom,
Those lessons learned through pain;
Don't wait for death for heaven,
Through your fire be born again.

''Unknown Object''

Dragon's face,serpents' skin.Like an alligator,the lake it lays in.Fish scales,razor sharp
nails.It can not be real?Creature,you are just a myth.My deceitful eyes,as I watch the
creature spread wings and fly.Oh,what a sight to see.

Opening Petals of Love

longing throat
brew of crapulent
blood
thorns on the roses
warm red soil
infertile
you caress
salt of the ocean
dove of peace ascend
in the snow white
sky
golden serpents dance
to the tune of
prurience
opening petals of love

Dragons

Dragons masters of fire create, preserve, destroy sense of helpless mortality serpents.

Snake Sirloin

Serenading with sermons at services,
Serious seraphims searched out self-serving serpents.
But serrated silver certainly surpasses serenity.
Sirloin snake steaks seared and served by servants.

three trotting turtles
slowly raise a cloud of dust
neck and neck finish

six hissing serpents
surreptitiously slither
escaping their pasts

three city ground hogs
shaking their "jay-lo" booties
cross against the light

Apolitical

tithes, alms to atone for lies and murder

            politician, shrewd provider

            feeling saved all over


            often, those who piously claim to be

            taxpayers' servile servants

            are but public serpents !

Disdain

You 
feed
me from
infancy;
you taught me to walk
so why circumcise my heart mother
your love is like the serpents lie to eve- deceptive
behind these forbidden doors you delivered blow after blow as Cain did Abel

Doughy Nymph

Do not fret, doughy nymph
Your legacy shall not be shame!

While estroclones flash
And spite-serpents slither

Fleeting beauty cast
In fotofox mold

Fades out quickly
Exposing foul substrate…

The hope in your heart
Outshines the sadness

A gift meant to be shared

Mother
As ancient time is not anxious
Of humanities youthful squabbling
You permitted my discourse
Allowing for the conclusion
(Mothers are wonderful in that way)
all the while operating 
under the assumption
that serpents molt and
trees shed leaves to grow

Staircase

                                       Oh my!
                              This sly staircase,
                       a coiled serpent,
               struck on the Christmas eve
       when stars blinked through the dark veil,
still it lurks.

The Serpent and Lion

You crawl on the dry earth
Eating the dust and dirt
You live in the dark pit

You prowl in the wasteland 
Murdering foreign cubs 
You’re a king of nothing

Serpents, see your craftsman 
Lions, see your craftsman
