A Violet Beauty

A Violet Beauty

Smooth scaly skin

That slithers like the wind

The body like a wave

Perceived as black as the sea

Crawling through a cave

About to attack for sensuality

Scared since I was young

To be hurt by his tongue

The pain in his teeth

Along with his fast-moving feet

A friend approaches me with a deal

A plan to make my fear heal

She comes to me as bright as a star

About to make a special memory

As she climbs up my arm

I feel a sense of alarm

Once she wraps around my neck

I feel less like a wreck

Now we are face to face

As her smile makes my fear erase

Nestling on my shoulder

I feel the boulder of fear explode

I am no longer afraid of the slithering beauty

It is my duty to protect the violet child

Once afraid of her body and teeth

I have yet to feel any fear beneath

In the surface of my mind

I have finally become aligned to my violet beauty.
