Serpent Dance

I see you move gracefully
Across the sands of time
You remind me of a serpent
So beautiful...so deadly

I can remember little
Save the faults of Adam and Eve
But I can't resist
Your serpent kiss

Lead me into temptation
My snake Goddess
Sheathed only in slithering silk
That is nigh on transparent

Together our bodies move
In a dance that only a snake can do
Erotic yet not so
It is beauty incarnated

As the drums beat
And the flutes whistle
We lose ourselves to the music
And give ourselves over to hopeless abandon

The other serpents watch enviously
As our steps continue, unwilling to stop
It will be long before it is over
And the dawn comes to pass

As our skin touches and our eyes meet
It is clear how this night will end
And yet the dance continues
As if to tease ourselves in our proximity

Then, before the eyes of the crowd
We are our true selves
Cobra and Viper
Weaving around eachother

We are one
We are the same
We are serpents
This is our dance
