Entwined
we both smile
you bite
with a gentle edge
I entangle myself
and squeeze.
My smooth
serpentine limbs
glide over your
crocodilian bony plates
slowly
slowly
in
love's
death grip

An excellent interpretation of the picture - all neatly wrapped up.
ReplyDeleteThat a deadly bite and grip ~ Good response Ellecee ~
ReplyDeleteHow shall I describe it? A sensual war perhaps :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteLove serpentine limbs and crocodilian bony plates. This could be two skinny people having sex as well. = )
ReplyDeleteOoooooooh ... steamy little romp among the serpents!
ReplyDeletevery love hate are they I think

I like this!
What a lovely mixed species commentary on love!
ReplyDeleteoOooo, that's some treacherous love happening here!
ReplyDeleteI like the rawness of your words. There's a natural passion, people too often forget in their drive to be mechanical.
ReplyDeleteOh, it started out so sweetly, and then ended in a death grip. Nature's way isn't always our way, is it? Well done.

There ARE some couples I know who have this affect upon each other... they just can't decide to walk away, but remain, entwined in a death grip!
