The serpent has mingled with my blood <br /> <br />As she devours me, I become her lover <br /> <br />Half lidded eyes closed with numbness <br /> <br />My body tingles from her touch <br /> <br />She has me paralyzed <br /> <br />She has left me speechless <br /> <br />Her poison runs through my veins <br /> <br />I can feel her all over my body <br /> <br />She has become I <br /> <br />And I she <br /> <br />I can feel myself becoming dead yet alive <br /> <br />Becoming, Soil, water and sky <br /> <br />All things and none <br /> <br />My soon to be widow lays across my bed <br /> <br />And Weeping Mary, weeps <br /> <br />As I leave her for another lover <br /> <br />I am afraid to close my eyes<br /><br />James Jarrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/snake-bite-2/
