The Serpent, scent of sins

You are soulless
Like the last 2 stanzas
Delivers hard action

BIG LIKE

Haha, I have too much soul damnit! It torments me. Well I do love hard action, I feel like you are seeing the BDSM angle to this one with that comment. So many meanings slithering around in my head. Some are fun, some are not... It's always interesting to know what someone sees. And I always love getting a BIG LIKE. So happy you could feel those last 2 stanzas. (lots of soul there, even if in fiery hell). xo

I get to be the first to give you the compliments you deserve :) I like line breaks, creative use of font, and development of emotion from apathetic to thrill.    
Also, you kept it short and sweet, letting you word choice do all the talking. Oh, this is bias of me but I like the tight form you kept in the piece. I'd do the same. Great write!  

Awww, that's so sweet. :) I really appreciate you reading and giving me your thoughts so quickly. Liking my impatient formatting is always a way to my heart. I like how you saw combination of apathetic and thrilled emotions and the build up. I hoped the words, although concise, would embody everything I felt when writing and the multiple meaning therein so I am really happy you appreciate the form. Thank you so much for the supportive words. xo

Well..the second :( lol

Shhhh... it was the first comment from you so you put a smile on face. Don't bring it down with a frown.

Well that works fine for me! I'm glad I could make ya smile! Everything I said is true. This is good poetry and you are a damn good poet ;)

Your words are artistic on their own just as the eye is indulged to see the meaning more intense based on the boldness or slant, I can feel the slither and sin and the photo is gorgeous!

It is so wonderful to have you cast your beautiful eyes on my writing and give such wonderful feedback. You are a true artist in every sense of the word and I am so happy that you feel the boldness or slant adds to the intensity. The slither and the sin, oh that temptation and how sometimes it can take us to really exciting places while other times to truly bad ones. xo

Great write, very thoughtful read
Love and light

Hey Ron! Thank you so much for the comment and thoughts, I am really glad you liked it and found it engaging. :) Sending much love and light back at ya. xo

Brilliant writing and well received

Thank you so much for the comment and thoughts Adagio. I feel like I really accomplished something if I can get a 'Brilliant' from you especially on something dark. xo

Don’t let the darkness entwine you. Your previous sins are not a portal for entry into your soul (Scent of sins).  Dealing with tough times in your life are making you vulnerable (Life is on fire, sparkling, blazed, Only a human shadow remains).  The battle is between yourself – the fun-loving happy young lady – life and family responsibilities (An insidious relationship, a fiery Hell). You are worried not meeting your responsibilities makes you bad – a dark soul; losing your compassion. 🌑

You are a mongoose, KristinaX, or better yet with your poetry skills, a snake charmer. Making the darkness dance to your tunes.  🎷🐍

This is a wild @ss interpretation and doesn’t meet one of your tags (#abuse), unless of course it is mental self-abuse. Your “insidious relationship” is iffy in my interpretation also.  🤔  
😎

Oh my dear DaVinci, the darkness has me permanently entwined. Are you sure? I feel like they are a portal for entry into my soul and everything that hangs out in the dark wants a ride. The Anti-Khrist carnival is so fun. In all seriousness though your interpretation definitely illustrates your genius, the historic reputation is well deserved, because you are absolutely on target for one of the meanings. You have read and described the vulnerability, the internal battle, and fears so well in regards to things in my life right now.  
 
Awww mongooses are so cute but charming snakes is one thing that has got me in trouble. You really do have to be careful with those snakes. I am not sure the darkness is dancing to my tunes but apparently I make a great dance partner because it keeps coming back.  
 
I often think of things in multiple meanings and apply them to various times in my life or experiences. It can be difficult to understand all of them unless you are in my head (and it's scary in there) and since some may be bad and others good it can be even more confusing but I love hearing what people take away. Mental self abuse is certainly applicable here too; really you captured some of that earlier.  
 
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your interpretation and thoughts. xo

Pic looks like Britney Spears carrying big snake.  The sins of our past come to haunt us.  Keep on writing.

Two snakes actually, I want to feel them on my skin because they look so cute. Not sure Britney would go for that sort of thing. Oh the sins of the past, sometimes they haunt us and so often they are repeated, but sometimes they are exciting too. :) xo

Hello Kristina This poem seduces! Lots of raw emotion here.
The picture is a declaimer for what you are about to read. Sets the mood so to speak.
Well done!!

I am so happy to seduce you Adelphina, anytime. ;) X There is definitely a lot of raw emotion and meaning for me in this one so I am glad you can feel it. I love the mood set by the picture as well; the right picture can definitely add something extra. Thank you so much for your thoughts and kind words. xo

Dear K,

I think if I were to flip the script this piece made me think the speaker of the poem holds all the cards. She has the power of seduction. He can look as lustfully in her eyes as he wants (and thats hot, make no mistake) but she rules. He might be soulless but not she. She rules. As per, the formatting and bolded font make the reader focus on the words driving the point. This is an intense and great write. H🌷

I love how you flipped the script Honoria and that certainly gives new meaning. She is the snake charmer and seducer even as he tries to dominate but she still has the control to incite those wild desires and subdue with a gaze offering a taste of her soul to him. I am so happy the formatting has added to the experience, it is my aim to drive that focus in a specific way so if it works I am thrilled. Thank you so much for your thoughts and kind words. xo

Nicely penned ... the short lines sustain the cadence ... the picture compliments perfectly ... great jarring write ...

Thank you so much for the comment and your thoughts LDF, I am so happy you liked it. I felt like the shorter lines were still capable of
providing the depth of meaning and multiple interpretations behind the words. I am really glad you felt they sustained the cadence, I love hearing that. xo

well miss Eve and the Snake!
another work of awesomeness and lasciviously chaotic
just the way i likes it
still on my way to find waterfall

Oh yes! perhaps eve or perhaps Lilith before her. The snake wanted them both. Two opposites one outcome. I love that you see awesomeness... Lasciviously chaotic, oh that's definitely me. I know my writing can be chaotic and strange. :p I am so happy it's the way you like it. xo

I'll have eve and lilith together at the same time
- evil on my left and chaotic on my right

Well that would certainly be an adventure worth taking. What a contrast. Evil and chaos make for a really good time.
