snakebite smiles

your teeth threaten as you bare them, a smile others consider as warfare. perceived “poisonous” joy, you’re fearsome yet harmless.

I don’t think I could ever see your guise as venomous.

I’ll revel in so called toxic gaze,

but it really isn’t as they say.

Your attacks aren’t dangerous. In a way,

is love not lethality?
