Mouth of Madness
In the mouth of muted madness,
sits teeth ready to devour
any word that arises
Its inflated ego is like a belly never
full always hungering for more
Clamoring for a meal as the hours
pass, it opened doors
that can never be closed
The monster rose from their incantations
sown on fertile grounds
during witching hours
Who knew those words held all
that power to create & destroy?
An unholy matrimony of energies synergized
and employed for battle,
manifest to the surprise of many
Thinly disguised excitement covered
pursed lips as they
ready for underworlds kiss
The merging of the 2 brings both heaven
& hell to its knees
as bride and groom 2 be
Things were never the same after they
opened that door designed
for pain,
as something else was ushered in
causing the world & plans to change
