The Shadowbox
In a box full of Shadows...
Dwell objects of Cryptic Imagery...
Through ancient Frosted glass...
Fractured like spider webs.
Creep items of the unknown or the forgotten.
From rusted gears of broken
clocks and crazy cracked crystal rocks.
To skulls of black cats,
And wings of Vampire bats,
Lay objects of mystery,
A severed claw of a dove,
A cards proclamation of someones
undying love and haunted misery.
Gears, strings, and wound springs...
Some very strange things fight the decay.
Worms crawl, flesh pluses, blood seeps,
Onto faded families secret photographs.
Unnameable insects beat their wings endlessly…
While stuck with pins in a frame
from childhood experiments.
Next to some exotic erotic toxic
Rune manuscripts.
Old odd bones roam
Forbidden machines hum
Spiders play, pray on sliver humanity
All these things lay quiet and forgotten in…
A BOX full of deep SHADOWs
And haunted histories
Things, beings, and deities
sit in a forgotten corners
deserted, forlorn, unknown
In a House that no one knows
Secrets dwell within...
the sealed, SHADOWBOX!
