Snake

                         Snake

Such  Grace  and Divinity  that doth

 Sustain  and   strong   and  many.

Hold!  That permeates  on

Lord Shiva’s  head  down to  His neck .

  Neck  with  the prominent  Snake  

 A  stronghold  and depiction  of  

 Three  entities  and   Times.

There is a   snake in every woman’s coil

Of looks  if she  be seductive  and  fair

Dangerously  alluring. There  is   a snake

in  grass , glides surreptitious , slithers ;

we   have  come   across  snake charmer too.

I  imagine   Eve’s  and Cleopatra’s  serpents

doing  their assigned   tasks, happy  and victorious.

Now  let me be to  my  orchid

And   dwell  in reading   Serpent   and  Rope.
