"cobra" poems
1 Backwater nymph, queen of serpentine black tresses flaunting its coconut oil gleam; envy of  leggy girls from the Western ghat mountains, and lissome  maidens from the plains, who can never eat as much fish, even if they wish. Wearing hibiscus flowers, on coiffure like hood of a king cobra, your coral lips  silently speak of hot peppery kisses, waiting for me at shaded corners. Your sultry body in me arouses desires, that could only be whispered in your ears. 2 On a coconut lagoon when we met, for the first time and spoke, non stop, as if we knew each other life long, I heard music in your words. Oh! in the tongue you spoke, I heard the cadence of a nightingale ecstatic, on its wings above the clouds, love had prompted us to fly above the storms. Your  gleaming coal black eyes, like silver hooks, tug at my heart strings, that makes music, only I can hear, you are a free flying lark, above Kerala's lush coconut coast, that extends from sea shore to the mountains. 3 **When we relished steaming brown rice, mixed with clarified butter, with spicy tuna curry, tasting so dainty, cooked in bubbling sweet coconut milk, my eyes like two crazy butterflies circled your face, a blossomed Champak*. Mashed cassava and roasted squid, melted on our tongues, in a perfect culinary language any one would understand without effort. 4 Your lips had cinnamon scent, spice land's boons, when we kissed we touched heaven of scents and spicy tastes. When our eyes fell on each other, near the ancient synagogue, the hay days of which is over, a long jasmine garland coiling your hair,     marked you different, from the  the ladies of your neighborhood,                                           surrounding you. How well you did pretend that you have never seen my face before! You have mastered love's cunning, and all the wily tricks to cheat the enemies of our fiery love my Freudian mind perfectly understood. Just imagine the brouhaha we would invite, when we elope, in the last boat, to Alappuzha, stealthily at midnight.*

Off that landspit of stony mouth-plugs, Eyes rolled by white sticks, Ears cupping the sea's incoherences, You house your unnerving head -- God-ball, Lens of mercies, Your stooges Plying their wild cells in my keel's shadow, Pushing by like hearts, Red stigmata at the very center, Riding the rip tide to the nearest point of departure, Dragging their Jesus hair. Did I escape, I wonder? My mind winds to you Old barnacled umbilicus, Atlantic cable, Keeping itself, it seems, in a state of miraculous repair. In any case, you are always there, Tremulous breath at the end of my line, Curve of water upleaping To my water rod, dazzling and grateful, Touching and ******* I didn't call you. I didn't call you at all. Nevertheless, nevertheless You steamed to me over the sea, Fat and red, a placenta Paralyzing the kicking lovers. Cobra light Squeezing the breath from the blood bells Of the fuchsia. I could draw no breath, Dead and moneyless, Overexposed, like an X-ray. Who do you think you are? A Communion wafer? Blubbery Mary? I shall take no bite of your body, Bottle in which I live, Ghastly Vatican. I am sick to death of hot salt. Green as eunuchs, your wishes Hiss at my sins. Off, off, eely tentacle! There is nothing between us.

Nothing is really mine except Krishna. O my parents, I have searched the world And found nothing worthy of love. Hence I am a stranger amidst my kinfolk And an exile from their company, Since I seek the companionship of holy men; There alone do I feel happy, In the world I only weep. I planted the creeper of love And silently watered it with my tears; Now it has grown and overspread my dwelling. You offered me a cup of poison Which I drank with joy. Mira is absorbed in contemplation of Krishna, She is with God and all is well! * O my King, my father, nothing delights me more Than singing the praises of Krishna. If thou art wrath, then keep thy kingdom and thy palace, For if God is angry, where can I dwell? Thou didst send me a cup of poison and a black cobra, Yet in all I saw only Krishna! Mira is drunk with love, and is wedded to the Lord! * The heart of Mira is entangled In the beauty of the feet of her Guru; Nothing else causes her delight! He enabled her to be happy in the drama of the world; The Knowledge he gave her dried up The ocean of being and becoming. Mira says: My whole world is Shri Krishna; Now that my gaze is turned inward, I see it clearly

Magnolia Queen, Magnolia Queen Launch one thousand ships Oh, carry me back to the in-between Magnolia Queen, Magnolia Queen The shadows will dance, the shadows will dance The fire burns hot From the iron king cobra’s trance The shadows will dance, the shadows will dance Oh, carry me home, oh carry me home Through the absinthe seas Watching the watchman mumble and drone Oh, carry me home, oh carry me home Whittling the trees, whittling the trees Planets do align To the face of the Magnolia Queen Oh, only to the Magnolia Queen

1, for the slumber that tumbles us round, 2, for the remedy, the musics bold sound. 3, for the tree that became your canoe & 4 for the rain, it's ambiguous blue. 5, to escape, to a world we contrive, 6 for the tricks that I played to survive. 7, because heaven, is supposedly on earth, & 8 for my mother, and her unknown worth. 9 for the failures, the faults & mistakes, 10 for the fears that keep us awake. 11, for my father, consoles me each night, whispers advice crystal clear, filled with insight- words on courage & kindness, love & delight. 12- when you wake but it's already night. 13 forever, with strength glory and might, 14 with wisdom, discretion, insight- both numbers together sizing up every fight. 15, for my little sister, and all her turmoil, 15, for her spirit, the last one to spoil, she and the world but water and oil, 15 for her soul, and like the mighty cobra it's coil, deadly & graceful defends its home soil. 16 for the evil- the wicked & cruel, the endless hate they spin into fuel. 17, for reason, justice & art, and all the other virtues life etched on my heart, 18, to redeem, to admit your mistake, to truly move on then perhaps to retake. 19 for that shame, always the same, so familiar it almost comforts my brain. 19, for the suffering, agony & betrayal. 19 true stories retold as mere tales- how they surpass logic and induce other's fails. 20. For my years. For the moment, for now. For to the past I salute, and to the future I bow; All with the hope that next year I'll know how to do what everyone else can.

Jeff Corwin Teaches Lindsay Lohan the ABCs
*a rain is falling, on the crack’d earth a rain is teasing, on the dancing us how do we return this present,   this overwhelming love, endless kisses you shower, in your every drop a rain is calling, on a thunder drum a rain is singing, come, ye all come look the well is swell, bare earth rustle green again, how an elusive peacock cries out the rain's endless names, a rain is bending, the mighty banyan tree a rain is chasing, cobra, ants and bees how the sea rages in anarchy, its heart is majestic today cling of old things vanish, in a flowing disarray a rain is falling, on the cracked earth a rain is teasing, on the dancing us*

The engine is killing the track, the track is silver, It stretches into the distance. It will be eaten nevertheless. Its running is useless. At nightfall there is the beauty of drowned fields, Dawn gilds the farmers like pigs, Swaying slightly in their thick suits, White towers of Smithfield ahead, Fat haunches and blood on their minds. There is no mercy in the glitter of cleavers, The butcher's guillotine that whispers: 'How's this, how's this?' In the bowl the hare is aborted, Its baby head out of the way, embalmed in spice, Flayed of fur and humanity. Let us eat it like Plato's afterbirth, Let us eat it like Christ. These are the people that were important ---- Their round eyes, their teeth, their grimaces On a stick that rattles and clicks, a counterfeit snake. Shall the hood of the cobra appall me ---- The loneliness of its eye, the eye of the mountains Through which the sky eternally threads itself? The world is blood-hot and personal Dawn says, with its blood-flush. There is no terminus, only suitcases Out of which the same self unfolds like a suit Bald and shiny, with pockets of wishes, Notions and tickets, short circuits and folding mirrors. I am mad, calls the spider, waving its many arms. And in truth it is terrible, Multiplied in the eyes of the flies. They buzz like blue children In nets of the infinite, Roped in at the end by the one Death with its many sticks.

Totem
The brass trumpet sounds In the dark, where weeps aloud And hearts are made of silver To match her necklace that slithers As a snake which tangos When their bracelets dangle No one seems much surprised For her dance, the cobra rise To greet the man on the street As he is poisoned head to feet Shake the jeepers, I'm telling you If not, may your spirit be cool She is definitely a piece of work And drunken whispers offer jerks But, they do not have a clue This woman moves to voodoo Wiggle... Jiggle.. Lady Dancer You eat them like a malice cancer Wiggle... Jiggle... Lady Dancer Tomorrow, you will have to answer.

Creatures of the night, howling and cooing, in the dark forest, sending chills that run down my spine, with goose bumps all over my body. It's really spooky in this quiet night as the drizzling rain makes it more difficult and uncomfortable to see in the dark. The tranquil of this night is so frightening and makes one go weak at the knees. I can hear the ****** biting the wood to make a ridge so the flood will find its path. You can hear every footstep of these creatures moving in the dark. The flapping wings of the dreaded vampire blood ******* hammerhead bat flying so low above my head, another nightmare of the night, the night owl staring at me, the park of wolves barking at a distance, the creepy noises of other animals in the deep dark night, the noise of the ruffled dried leaves by the king cobra hunting. It seems they are watching your every move in the dark. The whiff of your scent they perceive from afar. Alone in the quiet dark night with the night creatures is a perfect place to test your nerves and witness the beauty of the night unfold before you in display of their magic. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme.

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
over a snow-covered mountain top in heaven some secret river lies stirring not earthwards this river of the Gods and then a prince disturbs her peaceful ferocity with determined prayer to cleanse the sins of his forefathers Look she trembles with wounded pride! Not a mere mortal river is she a Goddess, her anger awakened but she must proceed the Gods have asked her so she shall go but she makes her displeasure known threatening to swallow all of existence she follows the earth shakes it cannot hold her weight her power her strength her majestic gait life-giver, she is now a messenger of death in her anger she is beautiful, this world cannot sustain her only he who wields the trident can reign in her fall and then the Mahadev traps her even as she falls in a mighty torrent thinking she will sweep him to the nether regions in his locks she is lost struggling, she resembles the naga around his neck she spits like a cobra this immortal river stays tangled in his locks for many a year till, defeated and frustrated she begs forgiveness and then with his blessings she trickles down still furious in pace but in heart at peace the mother of all rivers- this river of rebirth her sound like thunder her hair like streaks of lightning celestial beings witness the skies are lit the parched earth satiated Ganga has descended as Bhagirathi - Vijayalakshmi Harish          03.09.2012 Copyright © Vijayalakshmi Harish

The Arrival of the Ganges
The Mongoose dances with the Cobra Bending and twitching, it looked like yoga One little ***** of those poisons fangs Will leave it dying in ravenous pain The Mongoose so small and frail It looks like the dance with the Cobra is sure to fail The jumping and striking is memorizing to watch Looking exhausted they raise it up a notch A dance to the death is the show before me The Cobra's hood is all I can see He sways from side to side trying to hypnotize But I can hear the Mongoose's chattering cries Bouncing back and fourth on legs of springs The Cobra strikes, you can hear the zing The Mongoose is to fast, to the side it jumps Then comes the bone crushing crunch As the snakes body curls in on it's self into a ball Looks like the mongoose won after all So even if you think of yourself as small Be the mongoose when problems come to call

He heard her before he saw her When he saw her he turned into a meerkat. Her high heels seeking his attention. He drew the line at sniffing her when he realised she was not dangerous. She may have turned into a cobra if he did.

The flower of womanhood. You are like no flower, you are a snake. A cobra with your head ***** ready to strike. And stricken was I. The apple of my eye. Out of reach, bittersweet Like the honey-apple I've never tasted. But when in reach you are still no joy, for your taste is forbidden, and cast from the Garden was I.

Lilith
A cat stalks amongst stalks; monkeys like old men, fingers unpick your banana hands, curious and careful. Too much expression. Don’t worry, have a curry. And from a coach window glimpses of a land where a skeleton boy sleeps or lies dead under palm. And the red earth chokes. Follow the waterfall to mango pickle down river to a jungle boogie rhythm you ain’t ever heard before. Cobra skins and coy carp, the sound of cicadas amasses. A stand still in traffic, its ‘crush’ hour its okay to beep even if it will never get you anywhere. A treasure trove of trinkets, a myriad of jewels. All you see is money, all I see is you wanting money. Dusty rags from sandy bags, the face of desperation is ugly. Temples carved into caves as markets coloured like an artist’s palette. An elephant’s eyes say more than this poem could.

All inclusive in India
we all have sorrows as deep as wells, but i'm tossing them right out the door. maybe this is where i shed my old skin like a cobra, but i'm hardly as vicious. i'm only as dangerous as you let me be, with my bones as strong as glaciers and my eyes could swim inside aquariums or the Mediterranean sea, like i have gills that could let me breathe. i could make a home, 20,000 leagues under or i could touch land with my sun shining shades of affections with the complexions of new worlds. and did you know, that there are more stars in our galaxies than there are particles of sand on each coastal line - i guess you can say we learn something valuable when you least expect, like how cats have one hundred vocal sounds and we can relate because our vocal sounds are endless. we can use our voices. kind of like our opportunities, expanding like water turning to ice on our puddles so we can walk on them without rain boots or umbrellas that catch our tears. instead, we wear our thickness overlapping our feelings and i just want to be naked. if that leaves me vulnerable, so be it as long as i can taste the glass half full on my skin. i just want to be happy.

being naked is more beautiful than my clothes.
A snake doesn't just throw shade We thrive in the shadows Stalking our prey, Think you've got what it takes We'll swallow you whole. I dare the kittens birdys & roadkill To make a mistake You really think your house spits poison Better than a snake? Our Partsel tongue is "forked for her pleasure" Each time we seal a letter witches get wetter other houses cringe at our fame cold blooded killers don't buy it? Just wait. Our Snakeoil salesman Will Have you beggin' for change You dare to stand against a python? You don't even know code I can't pull punches if I don't have hands, Bro. Like medusas hair dresser Expect-to petrify Better call Cobra Get insurance for your life. What's the matter Gonna cry? Because We can't. Ask science. I dare you to challenge My Reptilian brethren We're Unhinging our jaw getting fed like it's league of legends.

Slytherin Flex
I am a cobra, spiraling upwards. Curling and slinking. I am a cobra; dangerous. fangs dripping, head dipping lower and lower and lower. Until I break up and tilt my forward. Forked tongue slips out. I hiss away all my doubt. Folding my lanky, tall body to fit my lengthy  personality. I am a cobra, and I do a sultry dance. I will not shake or dodge or prance. I linger after every thought, slip my way into the cold spongy grey tiled dance floor until you cannot see me anymore. I am a cobra, you’d better watch out. Sparkling white scales, they shimmer softly in the moonlight. A young destroyer of worlds, I take over the floor and curl inwards, then up, then lift my floppy head bristled all about. I smile and sway, then lick up the blood. I am a cobra, (so you’d better watch out).

The Cobra Dance
I was walking my big Ridgeback Mr. Brown across the Starbucks parking lot when this little white poodle started yapping from the rolled-down window of a brand new Mercedes. Mr. Brown responded like shot from guns and before I knew it he was scratching at the Mercedes door eager to make friends with the poodle. Then the Mercedes owner came running out of Starbucks spilling latte all over his substantial stomach What the **** Look at those ******* scratches! Do you know how much it costs to fix a car like this? I’m suing you and your big ******* dog ! Not wise, sir, I responded… to be so aggressive with someone you don’t even know and who has a 110-lb. African Lionhound on the end of his leash. I might be a whacked-out Vietnam veteran with a hairtrigger temper or a gang member or maybe I'm just a senior citizen with an extremely protective service dog. Well, he said, his belly shaking, look at my **** car. I am looking at it I said and handed him the keys to my ’68 Shelby Cobra parked and shiny right nearby. Take mine, I said it’s more fun to drive.

Mandrake the Magician
Inside your little mouth, a crucifix and a hula hoop plant great capers on the short hash marks on your glossy pinkish lips. Like a boardgame I can't win all by myself or a song without a tune, like the melody that chases strangers, or any words that precede goodbye. The future is coming quickly now, serfs lining up to set fire to their nostrils, take the cue ball and whet their mass wicks for the apostles. Anecdotal anomaly that J-walk over crosswalks whose life then becomes an apostrophe. Morbid fixture on the substrate, creatures limitlessly nodding. A grape-sized egg fills its own unit and erupts to shape the outlet. Your verb-legs may appear demonstratively while you crowd surf, we should play the music louder while we practice all our dance work. Sunday morning we wake up stiffly, my jowl hurts from mouthing softwords, the nights' adventurous perversity of thwarting dinosaurs with Cobra Starship. Even the back room closet manager gave us enough bleach to see our eyelids, frothy nictitating flitters drop freshly severed lashes that inspire wishes and sultry playlists. Consecrated mien market of company meals. Underneath the cable cars the dye blunders sores in my eyes. Said I had to go, said I had to die. Said I had an itch but I couldn't get in front of all of this and unwind. Between all of the bees and buttered flies he made it hard for us all to survive, or service this state of our lives. I recall schoolyards where children paid to their dimes for us to see the spaces in the middle of lines, the circles on the circles we liked, stuck in bubble baths with crayon all on their hands. For the price of staying alive I deliver a bribe to sway eyes from the crimes of street dwelling inner-city sinners with stomach contents' upsetted by the rough ********* of heavy petting. She eats red licorice rope with with my fingers rubbing on her tongue. A pedagogy I use to teach, but pretty much no longer have a use.
