Grand Opening

A Poem by Adam Jordan Turner

Grand Opening

 

Welcome all and thank you for coming

While I have been waiting, my hearts have been drumming

The beat of the drum to let you in

To show you the prizes I've given to win

 

Here lies a heart, and there lies a soul

The soul was my own, the heart I stole

I stole it from one who let it sit idly

An idle heart is far too enticing

 

While you are here finding your joys

Do not let your heart become my new toy

If you choose to love, do it wisely

You know the tales of the heart sitting idly

 

As for the soul of which you see

Yes, it is true, it belonged to me

I left it alone to lay on the floor

It suffers from love that is no more

 

You see I do not do love

I do not do tears

I do not do sorrow

And I have no fears

 

I search all day

I hunt at night

I dare my prey

To propose a fight

 

You see there was no fight

Not for my love

This planted in me

An Ill natured grudge

 

Now I steal hearts

To handle the care

When I am finished

You know I've been there

 

In your memory

You seem to hold

A meeting with the man...

Who bore no soul

 

You tried to show him love

You tried to show him care

However his receptors

Seemed to not be there

 

Stuck, you place your heart

On a dreadful hold

It is precisely then

Where I capture my goal

 

I warn you now

Carefully and tidily

Do not leave your hearts

Sitting still idly

 

No portion of love

nor mountain of gold

Could dare reach the man

Who bares no soul

 

Come one come all

I welcome you in

I'll bring you great joys

In my imporium of sin

 

But if you should lose

All is lost

You enter my world

At your own cost

 

Remember the tales

The stories have been told

You've been given fair warning

From the man with no soul

Like this a lot, I could hear music in my head as I read it. These would be great lyrics, Adam. By the way, feel free to send me read requests and I'll give them an honest review.
