Poems
Apr 2018
I’ve seen the Serpent
No worries, I’ll not suffer, dear
but rise up from the fall
and feel the sunshine on my face
and dance and sing my southern drawl
I see your heart has turned to stone
numbed against each sting
You’re a snake that sheds his skin
so you don’t have to feel a thing
However, watch me as carry on
as you’ve closed that open door
because you’ve darken every page
and I’ll yearn for you no more
I know now the man you are
behind the velvet voice of you
I see the serpent that slithers by
still smiling when your through
I recognize your yellow eyes
watered down in alcohol
smiling in disguise of lies
I finally see you, after all
