I am ensnared

by your snake eyes so enticing

Which poem of Keats?

It’s just called Lamia. It’s a pretty long one if I remember correctly.

Beauty's deadly charm,

Seduction hides the hunger,

Vampire's kiss unveiled.

Wow! I love “seduction hides the hunger.” Kind of like one hunger masking another… such a cool concept to play with🖤

Eyes removed but can see

Entrapment

In a cage pregnant

To eat babies born with no hope.

A dark one today, I love the hint of predestination. Very interesting.

You should take a victory lap on the fact that you reply to each and every comment made here. Not every Substacker boasts that most-welcome trait. I've had that trait thrust upon me (hardly any comments to respond to.)

But it's helpful to me and others as well I'm sure. Forces me to write and a lot of the stuff I put up on IG.
