A swampy lake
Flowering lotus
Swarming snakes
In the deep waters

Pink and white
Within my sight
Glowing bright
Emotions fight

Reaching out to get a bloom
Standing at the shore of my doom
This heart is mesmerized already
Mind unfocused yet on steady

One step a time
"Snakes", this is no crime
Let me take one bloom
From your flowering lake room

I feel the crawl
Between my legs
Pacing without fall
Yet my lips beg

Plucked by hand
The brightest bloom
Now reaching the land
Infront, stood my doom

With eyes opened wide
Am still safe on land
My dream, a guide
Now buried in sand...
