#slither - Hello Poetry

I pour these words on paper When everyone's at slumber I dream when everyone's awake Like a serpent dutiful for one's sake I slither, I toil, I breathe, I devour All it seems for a tiny glasshour My antidote is mercy not love A crow as white as a dove Salvation will not reach me for an eons My busy hands are as tired as a peon's Darkness is light, when it is solemn My chains will forever be broken

Slither

I pour these words on paper When everyone's at slumber I dream when everyone's awake Like a serpent dutiful for one's sake I slither, I toil, I breathe, I devour All it seems for a tiny glasshour My antidote is mercy not love A crow as white as a dove Salvation will not reach me for an eons My busy hands are as tired as a peon's Darkness is light, when it is solemn My chains will forever be broken

the snake— alluring notions held in its eyes tongue twitching with noxious desire arrogance held in a sauntered slink vile venom dousing budding souls —lends itself to this nature

To peel off your soft skin, mold it into armor, let the blood gush out until it fills your cup, and you gulp it in as medicine; to pluck out your silenced tongue, watch it slither across blank pages, as it paints them scarlet-sweet like your heart; to **** the trauma, bury it under words, but make it immortal on the same paper.

You don’t walk but slither You don’t talk but hiss Your tongue only blithers Coiled in bed with a monster so venomous Your a real man eater I, another mouse in the field Running in the harvest of Demeter While you strike, going for the ****

In Bed with a Monster

You don’t walk but slither You don’t talk but hiss Your tongue only blithers Coiled in bed with a monster so venomous Your a real man eater I, another mouse in the field Running in the harvest of Demeter While you strike, going for the ****

I hate how anxiety even affects my sleep, its black sickly tendrils slithering into my mind and wrapping around my dreams, one by one. Gripping tightly and ensnaring its prey as it twists its scaly body around my soft dreams, suffocating them with its serpentine embrace. A ****** mist permeates my mind as I awaken from my slumber; dead dreams are all I see now. A mental battlefield strewn with the cold corpses of my hopes and dreams. Anxiety came like a thief in the night and took nothing, but killed everything. Sorrow is quickly snuffed out and replaced with rage. Rage and a new kind of hunger. My esurient soul is now ravenous for vengeance. This corpeal soul shall wage war of the likes only seen in legends of ancient battles between deities and monsters of long lost myths. My demons have won this battle, but the war has just begun

Slither into the sea Inhale The top of a mountain To swallow, Sorrowful dusk Butterfly floats Heaven is shiny deep I'd fly if I drown

Oh Honey, You can't slither like a snake Then act like you have a backbone You can't burn the world down And expect it to rise from the ash If your cold heart finally thaws, I hope you're crippled by the mess you've made Because you can't clip a birds wings And expect it to fly higher Oh Honey, You can't start a fire Then expect not to be burned
