A wonderful use of alliteration in this well-written poem, Jibril.

I grab the silver locket
Where it all started—
Our love’s souvenir,
Ice to the touch,
Shard to my heart.
I wonder
If she still safeguards hers.
Her name is a scarlet clot
In my throat, hard to swallow.
As it strangles my speech,
It sunders my serenity
And snares the sorrow
In my chest
With a tangle
O…
Love’s Hungry Serpent
