I wrote this some years ago but thought it a fitting piece to use to introduce myself. As you can see I tend towards brevity and visual imagery. This piece really doesn't mean anything it's just an interesting image.


-Serpent's Kiss-

Beneath the bricks of a silent street
A serpent there lies sleeping
While up above in the silent night
A princess there stands weeping
And at her feet
Her tears create a flood
Around a prince
With venom in his blood

take your time...there will be another...
and dont make the same mistake twice...
unless you can pay the price...

Wow...this piece is intense.

A princess there stands weeping
And at her feet
Her tears create a flood
Around a prince
With venom in his blood


This describes a few people I know!
Well Done.
