Serpent That Dances
A sensual danger song about controlled movement, attraction, and the power of someone who never has to hurry.

Serpent That Dances

Lantern smoke bends when you move
Silk loosens from your waist
Your shadow coils along the wall
Like a serpent testing stone
Black hair pours down your back
Midnight without a shore
Your spine unwinds in silence
Segment by segment more
You do not hurry
You measure the room
The air grows heavy
Before the bloom
Like a serpent that dances
Slow across the floor
Warm in the waiting
Certain and sure
Like a serpent that dances
Soft in the light
Still as a whisper
Before it strikes
Perfume rises low and warm
Heat carried close to skin
Your shoulders ripple under flame
And draw the darkness in
Closer now
But never claimed
You brush the air beside me
Then pull away again
Coiled intention
Veiled in grace
Mercy is not
In your embrace
Like a serpent that dances
Calm in the night
Beautiful danger
Held out of sight
Like a serpent that dances
Slow and exact
All of the room
Tightens at the clack
