Night Rainbow


black eyes served up
on a white china plate
an invitation to dinner
with a water snake
where you swam here
slowly across liquid
skin shedding thinking
you could scare me, but
you do not understand
my fears at all
I am immune to
the poison serpent bite
before bit
respecting those pearls  
I traveled here myself
upon former salty waves
and there are rainbows
at night if you look
for I have learned
to float on cloud tears
so rattle all you want
my emotions are not
your prize



just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

I love it, and bitten by the venom of the words.

Your strength bites the soul, in this emotional yet bold piece.
