Reptilian Mind

At days end, the sun descends towards the horizon
The sky is painted in vivid hues, the moon is rising.  
    
Crepuscular creatures stir, as I slither my way  
Through shaded undergrowth, absorbed in search of prey.    
   
Gliding taut-bellied moves, my dance is exotic  
Scales aglow and shimmering; the display hypnotic.  
   
I am aroused by his scent, he is musky and strong  
Wrapped in furs, my pulse quickens, it’s for him that I long.  
   
“I must ravish you rodent”; I rear up high and strike  
Mouth wide, I swallow you whole, my succulent delight.
