Scrutiny Of A Psyche

Never a hallucination did she never fear Snake gourd like a snake didn't delusively appear Yet all changed smacking her heart to drear One day with a basket by a snake charmer Came on the charmer to capture with glee Embedded her boldness drove him to flee Devotee of snake-God she on a spree Eerie-less so her heart was cheery Around the house garden a dense forest But seldom a treat such so left Can enter in no foreign body Permission granted only to known somebody Appeared a week later snake- charmer Simply played his magudi the snake catcher Grew her nerves anguished in temper Controlled herself but with all prayer On and on went the magudi Bushy hiss, a snake up on eerily Asked her piety to let it flee free But lo, caught and thrusted into his bag gunny Disobeyed he, hence obliged not she Nothing of his money paid she His turn, released the reptile angrily All the world's curses throwing on her badly Sleepless nights thence haunted her gravely All the charmer's curses gunning fiery And her psyche accounted the destiny Bad to worse to the worst of scrutiny Of course life writhes, squirms and wriggles Serpentinely venomous at times Spreading its hood trouble- flickering From its satanic fang sufferings out flowing Althrough trustworthy her serpent God Sudden susceptibility yet in sunken heart broad In the grip of a comminating serpent Bewildered life in mirthless thought Her guts unnerved why? Recessed her devotional ply? Who the serpent, charmer or the reptile? Or the Lord Himself for a while? Unknown person, unknown reasons Coiled down life with curses Revere the Lord and dread His wrath..truth Seldom more prayers, she with vigilant breath
