Lovely Venom


When love starts to arise first,

What do you do?

When you feel the venom dripping on your shirt,

Do you embrace the rebirth or camouflage yourself using shadows

When love gets tired,

Where do you go?

Do you retire into the recliner?

Or find the energy to recover the flow?

Wondering why love,

Decided to take a chance on me.

Knowing the moment I cried,

Originated the thought of I could never leave.

How does it work?

Without taking a chance at first sight?

Without spending countless nights,

Under starlights with human headlights,

Waiting for the first chance to coil up & strike.

Ether..E

I am a 24 year young poet that goes by the name Ether. Writing is natural to me and is like an island in the the heat of the desert. I am currently enrolled in college for Business Administration and I would like to manage my own business in the near future. I have 3 siblings and I love them like there are no tomorrow. Thanks for your support and take the time out to check out at LEAST one of my poems! You won't regret it!
