Depths of Shallowness!
Rich Orth
Within well walls wherest wishes wallow
Demon awaits pieces of silver to swallow
For dependence upon dreams so shallow
Nightmares most assuredly shall follow
In prudence man looks to heavens
Absconding from depth dwellers
Spurning deadly sins numbering seven
Averting evil deeds compeller
Within well walls wherest wishes wallow
Demon awaits pieces of silver to swallow
For dependence upon dreams so shallow
Nightmares most assuredly shall follow
Cautionary tale t'is woven
Of boy meets girl
....Death intervenes
Germinated, seed t'is sown
Coin toss darkens world
....Serene devolves into obscene
With one wish... just one
Felicity would again be his
Death's pact undone
Together in eternal bliss
Cautionary tale t'is woven
Of boy meets girl
....Death intervenes
Germinated, seed t'is sown
Coin toss darkens world
....Serene devolves into obscene
Kiss of the coin
Wish twas made
And upon echoing splash
Away did he fade
Together they shall be
Deep within Demon's well
Awaiting innocent's silver
Wishing only to escape eternal hell
Within well walls wherest wishes wallow
Demon awaits pieces of silver to swallow
For dependence upon dreams so shallow
Nightmares most assuredly shall follow
