Love Is A Serpent

















Love is a serpent
That squeezes and swallows you whole
Nothing is safe when saturated with its venom
As fangs sink deep into flesh
And penetrate veins which give strength
To a heart which may bleed or swell
Depending on a fate which one cannot know

Hey Lauren, I just wanted to say it's really cool that you decided to put your poetry up. I hope it's okay that I made a link to The Electric Peanut from my blog.
