snaky tales

total darkness
pitch black
which contains eternity
their eyes merge after a while
heat shakes the hearts
slippery slithering bodies
of snakes entangle in knots

  6. This is the first 160 I've read ... I would rather not meet this hole of darkness!! I know there are those who love snakes, however, I am not one of them.

  11. So well written! Excellent!
    But so creepy too.
    I see that scene from that Indiana Jones movie where he jumps down into a snake pit. So creepy.

    I am thankful that there are not many snakes in Sweden and none in Northern Sweden.

    Great text. This was not an easy one to do, so you did very very well.
    Best wishes,

  15. You fill so much emotion and imagery in such so words. Not a gift many can boast of. Pleasure reading your work, truly.

  16. The slight ambiguity leads to other naughty thoughts, especially since snakes often mate in congregational balls like that. Nicely written.

    Snakes.

    Shudder.

    But really cool writing.
