You failed me as a friend
I thought we shared a great bond
Alas, how wrong I was!
I should have known something was amiss
When you gave me the cold shoulder
For not giving you a proxy
When you were absent
However, your…

If I were to fall in love
A new meaning would there be, for my life
Never would I be the same again

Even if it ended up driving me insane
Totally would I relate
To the Harris Jayaraj melodies I usually listen to
Light as a feather, would be my…

We Are Serpents
I am an ophidiophile, and this is my first poem about snakes. Here is the content:
We are serpents
And no, we are not malevolent
Yes, some of us can kill humans
But we are not the demons
That we are portrayed as
In fiction, cinema, television

Yes, some of us do get violent
But only when provoked
Some of us are not to be feared
Because they…
