Serpents Kiss
From behind a vale of mist, I felt his presence
as I heard his dark serpents hiss.
Lost now am I on these blackened plains of broken desire.
For I wandered in hope, yet never loosing the vapor
That has become my ever constant companion…the shadow of my soul.
I never reached the goal that was set before me.
And all is silent now.
For the mist of my vapor enshrouds me.
As there is no light, just darkness
and I now taste of the serpents kiss.
It is over now,
finire….
as this vain one gives up his soul.
