Ode to thee

Cant figure out a name for the poem. Will name it after the person I decide to dedicate it to. It follows the Shakespearean Sonnet rhyme scheme. My shitty poetry always makes me smile.

Oft had I, these songs heard,
The wisdom of which I could not tell.
Ere you, my life a surd,
Unravelled by thee, as I fell.

Tried have I, many a time,
But failed always, until now.
My life thus far, worth not a dime,
And all of a sudden, I own the Dow.

Up the mountains and into the sea,
Through the darkness and the light.
It is with you I wish to be,
and seek to spend the waking night.

In my presence, yet out of my sight,
For you shall I wait, and wait with all my might.

The SNAKE

As i gaze into the sky,
I feel my life is spent.
I look down as time flies by,
And see a slimy serpent.

The snake tempts me like it did Eve,
To squish the weak beneath my feet.
The pity I felt seems to take my leave,
The vile beast has no time to retreat.

Sudden mercy grips my soul.
I withdraw my leg and away I turn.
How strange it is for my bell to toll,
It is for all of us to learn.

The snake had struck upon my back,
One time too many as all turned black.
