Snake-Boy

Snake-boy has no mouth
Eyes unblinking
The rest unthinking

He never speaks
But that's okay
He only needs to feel

Snake-boy is beautiful
His scales are warm
His body smooth

No peachy skin
Or Midas touch
Could pull me from his coils

Snake-boy watches over me
He keeps me safe
He helps me breathe.

When I cry
He wraps around me tight
And I am his.

I am in love Snake-boy
But he will never tell me
Make love to me
Or kiss me

He never speaks
But that's okay
He only needs to feel.
