Curious Storefront

In a distant curious storefront
a haberdasher beckons invitingly
no items of noticeable usability found
nor confections of the finest sugar
opening with a simple slideshow ruse
fantasies to sustain every mortal soul
here minds wander on a daydreams pyre
and sanguine teenager titans gather
chasing comely Nereids in wicked games
dense loathsome serendipity knows no beginning
angst countenance etched on far too many faces
the trap is laid without any realization
a soul bargained in a tilted game
your fate is sealed for eternity

11 Feb 2009

Today’s random twitter poem I wanted to write something dark and deep, when I knew the theme would be of the underworld I decided I wanted to add a picture to today’s poem to capture the essence of it.  I found on that I thought fit it well.

Thanks to my 9 twitter followers who submitted the words (in blue) today:

@SurfCityJay (cold), @coyotesqrl (scripture), @coach_gold (treasure), @jollything (owner), @Miragi (serendipity), @Heleanora (masticate), @StarMars (lost), @mebanded (Marigold), @jamiain (windy)

Owner Of Souls

There he sits, the owner of souls
Surrounded by flames with a heart so cold
The scripture warns of his great tricks
No treasure found could be worth such a price

Yet serendipity shall never be his
Torment found always in his shame
Peace for his heart may be all he seeks
For his predicament, only he is to blame

Blood colored marigolds grow in fields of fire
Smoke and spirits wander in despair
Souls who have lost their way
Fly through the windy hellish planes

The owner of souls shall masticate on your dreams
For if he shall have none, why should you?
Many more have tried before you
To escape this hellish destiny

His patience is eternal
And so he waits….
