Snake Charmer

Bewitched my breaths on the charmer’s shawm,

Venomous notes drowning in storm,

Statue of dawn bleeds again;

Black birds take away hope of dawn.

 

Eyes dazzled by dark, blinded by light;

Infidelity rising; desires ignite;

Slaying black prayers; infidelity recites;

A curse adorned in worship’s guise

 

Scripts erased from gospel of lies;

Everlasting images: unheard cries;

My grotesque heart; a withered petal;

Death’s blizzard; the tears arise.

 

Border of nothingness, ecstasy crucified

A black rose; lays my executed pride;

Your denials; my oblivion—magnetized;

Scratching the shore; the waves collide.

 

Stabbing reflections; delusions aside;

Static temptations; deviations paralyzed;

My life; a castle of graves;

Graveyard of promises, love songs versified.

 

 

Souvenir this loneliness of love’s demise;

Heights sinking in fantasies reprise;

Intersect my dreams, destiny’s denials

I—a snake, bewildered, hypnotized
