Cobra

Quivering tongue

Reared up, hooded anger

Symbol of power, fear and sin

Horror!

Kentucky -Lymric-

There was an old man from Kentucky

who had a wife that was fussy.

She opened her mouth

He shipped her off south

and considered himself very lucky.

Flash of Light

Another flash of lightning

as the thunder dies.

Vengeful seeking fingers

stroke across the skies.

*

There lies a child sleeping

dreams soothe her eyes.

Hope in tranquil breathing

more so in her sighs.

*

In every dream a life

a living seed to sow.

In every crash of lightning

He will only know.

For Susan: Her hopes, her dreams.

She whispers through my thoughts.

She whispers through my thoughts

the lover of my heart,

graceful and soft.

Her smile excites me like a child.

Safety and love are hers.

She holds me and I find comfort

in her warmth.

Her hair has a delicate aroma of sweetness.

Soft and fresh like the garden in the morning sun.

She wears the bruises of my heart

as I wear hears.

Those proud badges of honor.

I'd wear for her alone.
