soul slanted

the prevalent subject never far from mind

Soul slanted
treachery decanted
from his plastic dime store heart.

Lucifer smile
I slipped on his style
cocooned in his web of deceit

Light dawned
I stretched and yawned
shed him while he rolled up another

Awakened from slumber
awkward at first on new legs lumber
until finally I began to run

No more do I drink
from his pool of tainted think
my new life has begun

Your poem is a continuing saga in the tug-o-war between Light and Darkness. Your magnificent last verse inspired me to write this tiny gift poem for you to keep as your own.

Dark Ink

Stopping at the brink,
I ignored his wink.
I no longer drink
Lucifer’s dark ink.

Thank you so much. Very nice btw.

I'm really impress with your writing style and metering.
Ok what the persona or intended muse may be saying here is that she may have bought in to his lies and deceits for too long and finally a light bulb suddenly flash open and she finally saw all the cob webs that has been hanging and blocking her visions .
She got a broom and place a sign outside the door of her heart that its now over and her store will be under new management.

Brilliant deduction. Thank you for taking the time. And thank you for the compliment. I know not of meter, rhyme, structure -- I just go with the flow and where it takes me. Thank you.

With what Madalyn said it reminded me of Lion King. Simba you must run far away and never come back... And your pic is a cat, just not a lion... I love the imagery you paint in this piece

[Lyn Anderson]

Your words are like a sharp knife that is slicing through the mental ropes that had you bound to an emotional anchor.
