Dreams are like snakes.
Slyly, they slither into
your serene slumber.
Some are so ravishing.
As you chase,
you fall into
the abyss of reality.
Some are exquisite but deadly.
They bite off your sleep's great slice.
Some, pythonic ones,
curl, crush and choke,
making your sleep
hide-and-seek with death.
In every nap,
you chance upon
these snaky dreams,
beautifully ugly little creatures!
