I mewed my eyes by thew
And grasped the green view.
White the cosmos is;
A snowy milky silver case.
But, thumped my heart in me:
'Black's all this white, you'll see.
Black: I want to know; and bow.
There I want to grow; and glow.'
And then was I exposed
To the truth of Black, placid.
How sour was the White I saw!
How sweet is the Black, braw!
How did that happen - my fall?
'Twas thee who did appall;
Thou who hadst Amber eyes;
Thou who hadst the scent of snakes.
Betwixt thine twain hands
Was a vinous grail of sins
I harked at thy gars:
'It's the Sin of Sincerity, iwis!'
Enticement. Seduction. Lure.
My soul wanted to abjure.
But, when thy did adjure,
I was swayed by calenture.
Thine alacazar hast pseudo frills.
On it's hatch, charming abigails.
Thine eyne: seducing men's sinew.
Thine scepter, frailing the crew.
Thy hast the Sinister Grail.
Thy leads men to thine rail.
Thou art the Hunter;
The Hunter of hands proper.

Dedicating this piece of work to a dear loving sister, (Hihi) anna_anabeth_28
She is wonderful and an awesome writer... (Her Infinity occupies a space in my library and I always wait for updates)
And, remembering your responses of Who Am I too. The best comment yet, as for me, was that of atroXity 's ... And Crazyrak too put forward an amazing Comment; a comment which still remains in my head.
These two are great writers, and I recommend their works if read long stories or novels 😋😃
'Who am I?' is a poem yet to come in the following chapters.
