Venomous
Senryu Collection
Your love’s toxic, a
Beautifully disguised trap
Hidden in plain sight
🌹
Your heart is full of
A cruel life-threatening bile
That you use on me
🐍
The darkness in your
Soul rotting as it erodes
With poisonous fangs
🌹
Firmly encircled
Corrupting the innocent
With venomous lies
🐍
Manipulating
Dangerously with hidden
Lethal intentions
🌹
I must say goodbye
Before the death-dealing kiss
It’s time to choose me

Our Song
Evening has given way to night. Gently, I settle next to you on the comfortable, old love seat and reach for your hand. You snatch it away, again. It cuts me to the quick, but I hide the pain, understanding that the reaction is but part of your demented state. Since the accident, your presence here in our cozy home has been clouded by a haze I can't see. Nevertheless, I feel the frigidity of your expressions and it serves as an excruciating reminder of the immeasurable distance between us.
