Rahu's Game

Rahu is a snake that swallows the sun or moon causing eclipses. Inspired by my mother.

Rahu's Game


Her name is a secret code
Only a few will know
And only once they realize
The power that it holds

Her demeanor is a guise
Invented to confuse
Those who seek her shelter
Always seem to lose

The loss is quite a large one
A steep price to pay
To bask in her fading light
That dims with every day

Her smiling face hides a mask
Of evil and of greed
She wants your soul so desperately
For it's on your soul she feeds

So be careful where you tread
For a RAHU you may meet
So desperate is her nature
So cunning is her feat

She chatters on excessively
Afraid of what she'll hear
Afraid of the silence
The reasons are all too clear

For when she stops her talking
Her facade starts to fade
You can see her clearly now
Of exactly what she's made

She is but a mirror image
Of exactly who you are
She is but a hollow shell
You carry her so far
