One day,
Out of the blue,
Two tiny marks were noticed,
Upon a thumb,
“Where the fuck,
Did these come from”!?
Was the thought,
Until the mind,
Was practically numb.
Little brownish red dots,
That looked a lot like tiny birthmarks,
Why were they,
Never noticed before?
They couldn’t be recent
But they weren’t remembered,
As being there,
Just a year or two before.
Into the head came a notion,
Was this proof of past lives?
Once someone had said,
The fear of certain fanged brutes,
Was likely due to being bitten,
While alive,
In another lifetime,
And this is why,
The feeling of panic,
While in their presence,
Never subsided,
No matter how much,
Time had elapsed.
In theory,
Fang marks,
Are only made,
By things infected by dark,
But are they really polluted?
Because after all,
They had ancestors once,
On Noah’s Ark.
There was strong suspicion that they might,
Be from a snake bite,
There was,
After all,
The infliction of a phobia,
But was that all paranoia?
Or was that fear founded by an incident,
And therefore legitimate?
Though there are tons of creatures,
Sporting fangs,
Not all result,
In the night terrors,
For instance,
It’s known a house cat,
Would not do that,
But who’s to say,
They weren’t wandering in the jungle,
And met head on,
By a lion?
But oh yes,
That jungle beast’s mouth,
Would be too big to leave these marks,
That little kitty though,
Righto! – that one’s a maybe……………
At one point in the past,
Could there have been a Mer,
Who played in ponds,
And swam in seas?
So many creepy critters,
Occupy these places,
And many are with,
Tiny fanged faces,
Yes this one is actually,
A real possibility……………
Very well,
I’ll admit there is no way here,
To be totally and absolutely sure,
Just the same,
These marks are pointing favorably,
Toward this being right,
It’s so strange they seemed to surface,
Pretty much overnight,
Even so I think it’s clear,
These marks were put,
On a former version of a self,
By the object of their deepest fear.
Original Poems And Short Stories 
Aww! I was so guided with each step anticipating this what if and that what if. But each step, I thought more and more of a particular what if! And that is MAYBE! The bites. The birthmark. Of the past life. Is the mark of the serpent of satan. There are negative connotations of the serpent in the Bible but Jesus also spoke of positive. Like Wisdom. And many other religions associated serpents with wisdom, reincarnation, healing, and transformation. Maybe the birthmark if it is from satan serpent, symbolizes what you have survived and learned from the serpent. Not it”s wickedness but it’s wisdom. You being your own person, being transformation and reincarnation of a serpent, but shedding the negative connotations and wickedness of it’s character. Redefining it for productivity and creation instead of sabotage and destruction! BUT all just a thought!
