Coiled bronzed perfection – symmetric mesmerizing scale,

Forked tongue whispering breathlessly  urging me closer-

Come sit by my tail.

Promises, wishes and stories of grand adventures ahead.

Skeptical I creep closer, so beautiful so pale,

Sitting in your corner, eyes dancing in the light,

Hours spent talking, dreams and ideas set sail.

Until tomorrow I depart

Turn with a happy heart

In a flash I fall –

Curtain call.
