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

twitter poems
04 Aug 2009

Today’s poem is filled with pain and sorrow about someone alone and in the deep throes of depression. It was inspired by the 15 random words (in blue) provided below by my twitter followers:

@planetjefferson (Natchez), @kcarruthers (precipice), @SurfCityJay (manage), @HollyJahangiri (enervate), @jedibloggers (zabaglione), @KathrynVercillo (returning), @RobinJP (birthday), @franscud (parsimonious), @ryjr (Sorrow), @MrsWomanSays (tremulous), @R_Arblaster (quintessential), @johnjriewe (inveterate), @shemah (adaptation), @SashaSabbeth (Soul Purpose)

Soul Purpose

Quintessential sorrow thick and pasty
like zabaglione welling in your chest
happiness as extinct as the Natchez tribe
life of tremulous parsimonious solemn adaptation
precipice reached on your birthday alone
stress and solitude manage to enervate hope
the last little bits of sanity and sustenance lost
endless inveterate depression latching on
as you try to find your soul purpose

Soul Stone – Poem by Dragon Blogger

Misc Poems

Soul Stone

Rocks
Falling on my soul
Dragging me to hell
Jagged granite shards
Shredding my sanity
Tearing my spirit
As it tumbles endlessly
A thin veil stretched
My soul a skin
Scarred and tattered
Discarded clothing
A rock found between
At my core
Chipped and battered
But still there
My essence exists
I exist for now
In this small stone
In a pond
Next to so many others
As we erode
Slowly
Over Time

My Soul, Your Soul – Poem by Dragon Blogger

Misc Poems

My Soul, Your Soul

My eyes cannot be deceived
My heart cannot be torn
My spirit cannot be broken
My soul cannot be sold

Your tricks are an illusion
Your prophesies bring pain
Your hopes rest on suffering
Your soul nothing but taint
