written for the contest twisted fairytale sponsored by Sara Jama... 

thank you soupers for your kind support , always appreciate your support, i will be slowly responding to all

Here rests the realm of the thorn-tongued truth ~ a mortal mirage of doomed pentacles, where forks and kettles speak the language of witchery, the dialects of the diabolical, listening as feral desires fill the aquatic hues beyond eclipsed chambers, chained with lunatic gold ~ where the beast impregnates the beauty, and awaits the birth of a tragedy, born from karmic fangs carving cruelty in shades of sin. Once upon a crestfallen fortnight, beneath a sky adorned with evil emeralds and remorseless rubies, a man seeking a gateway that imprisons his concubine finds a field of splinters, promising a never-ending curse, leading the beauty through hallways to where the beast sits on his unholy throne, reciting megalomaniac mantras, rewriting musical madness with nails and thistles on the walls of diamond-dusted deceit. He is finally served the bitter fruits of his own seasonings ~ on plates and chalices brimming with rust, concealing the carnal cravings weighing heavier than the hypocrisy he preaches to the oblivious ones, hypnotized by immoral myths… O thin-skinned spectators, this is no fairytale for the weak. This is the hellish gospel, inked in the blood of pagans rehearsing for the rising of the satanic sun. This is the story of a rose that smells like warriors dressed in vanilla from the springs of Valhalla ~ but fooled are the sympathizers, wishing she’d found a prince charming, and not a monster masked as a victim, weeping woes like a wounded lion. If only they knew he was a grotesque shadow of Lucifer, luring the fragile to find their home in the fangs of fiendish fragrances… Beauty deceived the Beast ~ with sagas laced in hemlock, and sighs that mirrored stars, with well-deserved vengeance and storms brewing beneath cloaked colors of ill-omened oaths and ancestral angst. She wore no tiara embellished with empathy; she kissed his darkness, to become unbreakable damnation ~ a voodoo queen, weaving blasphemy into the eyes of the beast, struck by trickery. She left him drenched in spells of sinister sparks, no longer a beast ~ but a caged raven, witnessing the fall of his empire and the dawning of bones and skeletons mimicking the mind of his musing, where she rules, as the eternal imposter, nurturing the sphere of all with anything but kindness. For she is the reflection of his vicious visions; she is the mother of venomous serpents, the cloned wenches, the voice of Lilith’s offspring, forever painting a false narrative~ one that seems like poisoned paradise. Be wary of the banquet you feast upon ~ you'll taste the venom you once poured. For Karma is boundless, and beauty is blind ~ to the sins you preach in mindless melodies...

Outstanding Inky, your cautions clearly & precisely delivered with frightening imagery. The ignorant & innocent could not but be cautioned. All the lines speak to the intention of fairy tales, so I’ll leave it at that. U r though living proof that karma can be overcome with faith & courage. Congrats, Sacred Scribe ! Who can write with such power if they have not experienced the underlying message.! Xx

Dear Inky!!Wow… this gave me chills. Dark, poetic, and beautifully haunting. It pulled me into a world where fantasy and pain blur in the most powerful way. Every line drips with intensity and emotion—like a fairytale twisted into something far more raw and real. It’s the kind of piece that lingers with you… unsettling and stunning all at once.You've got my vote...Hugs

There's a story to be read here, half buried in the tale of Beauty who became a Beast. Fools are the sympathizers who fall for "the hypocrisy he preaches to the oblivious ones..." "Be wary," yes, they should be of the darkness that doesn't only lurk in shadows. Board up that castle, Mrs. Potts and Chip, too. Burn it to the ground! I don't think I'll let Eloise wear her Beauty costume any time soon...

Yes! Karma is boundless, a message indeed. Good job, IE, one for the masses who forever painting a false narrative. I loved how the concubine rids of Satan, how demonic she must have been. Poor lion. a grotesque shadow of Lucifer. You've captured a demonic version, perfect for Sara, IE. I think you'll get the trophy , most definitely. Wondering what happened to their son? Ha sequel yay

Lol, the opposite of a cherub! I love the twisted theme, i use this formula--take a beautiful poem you own then make an opposite, flip it on its head for dramatic affects, and voila` its fun though some may think of it hypocritical, nah ~ poetic justice? :)

This is magnificent with genius word pairings! I love "lunatic gold" - just reading those words makes me mwa ha ha haaa like a villain :) "field of splinters" is a favourite too and I adore you pushing through the fourth wall with the "thin skinned spectators" line! I'll fave this immediately. Excellent entry for the contest :)

Oh my goodness talk about a darkie with no happy ending. You know what Sara likes that's for sure. Your narrative is coherent, even exciting though it feels like I'm reading in a dark spooky castle surrounded by malevolent shadows. And that photo! I'm steering clear of this ascendant. You really put some thought into this one. What a story, though I'm guessing not one for the kiddies before bedtime lol
