The Serpent and The Abyss

Sundered by the thunder of her thighs I wondered this:

Why have I never understood the simple symbol of her kiss

Despite the spell she spelled out on my skin in secrets softly spoken

By the lips and swaying hips that split my heart and soul wide open

I was blinded when I gazed into the blazing of her light

As if I’d stared at an eclipse whose darkling brightness left me broken

And I spiraled in the space of an abyss of endless night

And I heard something like a serpent unseen whisper in a hiss

A series of sibilant syllables that went something like this:

“In this sea of endless shadow we will show you endless sorrow

And the darkness lasts forever; you will never see tomorrow

For you loved a woman weakly and she hurt your tender feelings

Sending you through endless nothingness neverendingly wheeling

You were blinded when you gazed into the blazing of her light

As if you’d stared at an eclipse whose darkling brightness left you broken

And you spiraled in the space of an abyss of endless night

And you heard something like a serpent unseen whisper in a hiss

A series of sibilant syllables thet went something like this”
