Green Mamba (Pt.3 Of The Jungleuphoria Mini-Series) Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

Welcome to the jungle!
This dim, reticent place
A garden of misery
Painted, with a deceiving face

And, the apex predator—
The one and only creature
The snake slithers by
She's the garden's topmost feature!

Green Mamba—
She appears so delicate and tame.
But, once you taste her venom;
you'll never be the same
The poison starts to flow
Straight through your bloody veins
Then, your organs, they will rot
As she seizes the remains

She is holy unholy
In her acrimony
She is twisted elegance,
in her ceremony!
When you beg for escape,
And, you try to unfreeze your veins.
Your violence; she outmatches
Your will; she untamed!

Once more, when she injects you,
it goes right into your heart!
You wonder how it's possible;
The reaction's like an art!
Twisted, beautiful, seductive, and delicious
Like a bath, you'd take in heaven—
Though, it's quite vicious!
But, the serenity starts fading.
As does the pleasure of this bath
And you are stapled to earth's mattress—
Now you must face the aftermath.

As you collect the litter
Your organs spread around;
You try to fight and kick her.
You lay nude and on the ground.
You kiss the sheets of the garden,
As you confess that she caged you.
And, the rest of life's board game?
It always enraged you.

Until the sting of the mamba
Seemed to make the most sense
But then, you became her prey.
No longer hiding in the thick of bushes—dense.
You opened a wrist
You welcomed her to bite.
You made love to her poison—
Intoxication and delight!

You developed into a prisoner,
‘Till this day, you can't quite grasp it—
Perhaps she was the test.
And in this case, you didn't pass it.
