Python

Loving you
Is like
Getting eaten by a python
As the serpent's warm mouth takes its greedy grip of my head
Its venomous fangs drill through my skull
I reach for a helping hand, savior, mama, papa
Whom I have killed, buried with my own naked hands
But I wonder why I'm alone, I can't believe I'm alone.
I can't believe mama left me alone. Over a cherry tree
A bald eagle flies by, chortling over my dust bathing

I continue my frottage with the red soil
Slyly tiring the dirty serpent with my wings and legs
Till my clever darling coats me with its two ton body
3/4 of my head now being swallowed
By its beautifully, superbly stretched mouth.
Such an artful scene, the sky is colored vermillion

Over a cherry tree, a bald eagle flies by
Looking for something to tease
But disppointed,

The dust bathing has stopped,
I don't exist anymore.

A blossming cherry tree shivers
As the sun dives into the sea,
Along with it
Drown the cherry trees, bald eagles, pythons and my world.

I really like the imagery you have created here. I really enjoyed this, I felt almost like I was inside this poem when I read it. An interesting concept you pulled off well.
Your word choice and rhythm just were perfect for setting the scene. And what a scene did you set!
