HISSSSSSS

peering into the eyes of a snake
know full well the risk I take
engulfed in powers unable to resist
resides delicious ecstasy in his kiss

thirst for reality in which to partake
appetite now wet to cause an ache
weakness lost now woven in want
granting relief in every taunt

mesmerizing powers in which to seize
bewitching satisfaction the heart to please
a taste to relish and savor with delight
hidden in the venom of his bite

shall his elixir be liquid cure
or is the poison a captivating lure
intoxicating potion in bite and stare
intriguing fantasy in which to share


hypnotized yes, yet in emotional armor
he's now met his match in the snake charmer
experience teaches death could be in his kiss
but I still hear him whisper his longing hisssssss
