Canticles of a Withering Soul: Part Ii
Canto V: The Oracle
________________
She came round the dunes again to disturb
Wise and whistling maiden bristled knowledge
Ghost's and demon's she did like to perturb
Those with knives, came to give homage
'He lost' she sighed and her tears flowed
Witch, woman, every which way she glowed
'Evil begets evil' but he resists
His withered soul rightly then to insist
'They did not return the favor' he plead
The oracle replied angry 'Desist"
Her spirit felled with his rage, he fled
That was behind he thought 'so far so good'
Devil's deeds he'd do again in fact
Trace him down now, he'd kill if he could
The soul now beyond withered, more cracked
Than repairable it would seem to be
Blessed child to heaven's kingdom do you see?
Devils quarters he remained stuck within
Planning and plotting for the lies with sin
Spun round in circles, Lucifer's chosen
Not far from a lake in spite of it then
Not far fetched as his heart had frozen
Canto: VI: The Closure
__________________
The oracle was so far gone
The blood had all dried
Spiritually withered bones
The deeds done and applied
Then he came to realize he was lacking something
But what was it he pondered?
Oh that beauty in the distance, pearl white robes!
Kiss the mist of teary eyes and wince
Because his closure, his answer was amiss
Purgatory for this bastard and his devils wish
You stabbed me
In veritas, nox.
