Artist's Comments

But what if the serpent that guarded the tree were the one tempted,
To betray himself, his oaths, his honour and his loyalty,
For the sake of one apple, treacherous in its innocence?

The venomous tears that burnt black runnels down his cheeks,
Told the story, he in his saturnine silence would not,
Of a spiral stilled, a cycle broken, head and tail severed.

The lynxine one, in his snakeskin cloak of dire secrets,
For seven years and aeons more have I known, yet still know not,
Eclipsed by his own shadow, ever hounded by the yearning wolf.

The frozen ouroboros.

I'm good at doing that :O I think I send folk running for the hills with my cryptic side. Oh well, it's personal and complicated anyhow. I don't expect most to decipher it, just hope one or two might follow the same threads that I do in this woven web of choice and chance ;)

Thank you kindly for the compliment.

Seeing him anthro tripped me up, but the moment I closed the tab the first time I stopped and had a record scratch moment.
