Unto Ashes

Viper Song

Unto Ashes


Into the night I run and vainly seek your flesh 
Your silken scales make promises of delight 
Into the void, my love, your false light beckons 
After you sink your teeth into my neck 
Will you cry out in the passion of the moment? 
Or writhe around the bed to free yourself? 

Into the harsh sunlight you try to cast me out 
And in this light I see the viper's face 
Goodbye to you my dearest serpent near...
