We are caught
in the spiral
of a serpent’s eye
A circle of time
where there is
no escape
A dimension
of waves
nauseating
unfulfilling
Staring back at us
its scales tipped
inharmonic tones
Surrounding
dilating pupils
retract and restore
Slowly sinking its venom
into ever waiting veins

Together, we fly, across the ridge
Still searching for a better place
Over the eskers, nowhere to land
Roadways are gone, without a trace
The water no longer runs its course
Stagnant, the air that surrounds it
Barren and dry, done by nature’s force
Only gravel and dirt, all around it
So we shall sail, swiftly, into the clouds
Hoping the sunlight will guide us along
Over the hills, we’ll travel and soar
Singing sweetly, our own birdsong

Emerald green, a color, so splendid
Red headed beauty, she sits there alone
Surrounded by a lily, reflecting her aura
Day after day, she stays by her throne
The queen of the fey, jewels on her neck
Barely clothed, she is a spirit, so free
Casting her joy, on those who go by
Night after night, this is where she shall be
Should you ever make it past her way
Yet, do not see her by her chair
Smile and bow your head to her
She always knows you are there

She never looked them straight in the eye
Though the men around her would easily sigh
Her breathtaking beauty, soft and demure
An added feature of her exotic allure
Skin, like ivory, though her face was made
There was never a clue, but oh, how she played
Making believe she did not notice, when they
Ogled and leered, in their provocative way
Each of them, dreamily, held her in thought
Never able to take, what they eagerly sought
