    Serpent's Bite

    There is a path worn into the carpet Slight discoloration after constant pacing Pitch-black sky like a starless tarpit War is raging with this demon I’m facing   He calls my bluff about fearing death With insults meant as a means to kill me slow Spit...

    • Man, that vault holds gems. Great piece.
      Favorite line
      “He calls my bluff about fearing death

      With insults meant as a means to kill me slow”

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I love those lines as well, the vault has many layers indeed, but some are also incomplete or rough drafts, or will never see the light of day. lol. Appreciate you, cuz.

    • This smacks so hard of facing down the demons. It’s funny how bluffing can actually lead to the footing we need. There’s no retreat in this one. Just solid, bite me attitude…even as a bluff it carries the sting. The mistakes we make are lessons for farther down the road. It’s best not to forget their making, but their purpose is actually healing. If we let it. Powerful piece, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. The familiar sting always lingers beneath the surface, it’s a reminder to not forget the past but learn from it. Your analysis is spot on as usual, it must be the kindred spirt effect. I got the memo, I brought the hot chocolate to go with marshmallows, the bonfire awaits us. Appreciate you.

    • Sometimes its best to face em square on isn’t it .. but then I guess that’s where these fine words are coming from .. well there, and that seemingly bottomless vault you guard well and keep drawing from .. Write on brother D .. Neville 😎👍

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Sometimes there isn’t a choice once you reach a certain point, but yes experience is often painful in its teachings. Plus eventually one gets tired of running eventually. Appreciate you.

    • Excellent write up. That last line sets the reader up perfectly to loop back to the beginning and read this again. The cycle to start this over again gels perfectly with the cycle of the struggle you writ about. Deep stuff and worth every read one gives it.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brandon. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Some of that looping cycle comes from many summers of songwriting. Appreciate you.

    • The worn path, the rising heat, the serpent’s bite. It all feels like the shape of an old struggle finally seen in full light.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, CG. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Your commentary is so spot on, thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • We’ve all been bit by something in our past. Volunteering to carry the venom through life is never a good idea. Good one, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. A very true statement indeed. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I like the observation on the carpet, where it’s more worn out due to use (pacing) which also shows the pacing in the piece.
      Strong write my friend. Well done.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Wally. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I do pace a lot whether I’m anxious or when deep thinking or sometimes both. Appreciate you.

    • With age often comes wisdom and more appreciation for our past than may have originally been felt. I think the lesson in this was the appreciation for the women in his past life, his mother being the leader of them all, and the little lessons learned along the way.

      • Your perspective here is right on target here my friend. As the writer I can truly say you have focused on the heart of this story and gleaned the meanings within. I am so deeply grateful to you for sharing your understanding and what you took from my words. Yes the mother is the leader of these women in his life. I think I read something a psychologist wrote along those lines long ago. You really understood exactly this theme and delved into this meaning most aptly. I thank you so much. 🙂

    • Rather the stick huh? A firm hand to keep in line. this is a good opening to this. this felt like I read two full pages here.

      • Glad you liked my opening my friend. Indeed it was at least two pages. Yes the boy in the story liked bossy women who kept him in line. They excited him. Thank you so much for reading my friend. He is just discovering his submissive feelings. This is the beginning of his femdom interests.

    • You have a really nice writing Style I’ve always enjoyed. I like the contrast between Sonia and the mother. In a world of wonderment, a little boy finds his first crush. It’s an ideal life of wonder and amazement. I believe if there was a hundred dollar bill in his pocket he would have given it to her. lol

      The mother has wisdom enough to know where his feelings will be in years to come.

      • I can’t thank you enough my friend. I am thrilled by your apt and keen observations on this story. Truly you have captured its essence in your review. I am deeply appreciative. Indeed love that comment if there was a hundred dollar bill in his pocket he would have given it to her. lol. Priceless. Indeed I am sure he would have given it to her. And yes truly the mother knew how his feelings would evolve and already were. Thank you so much. 🙂
