The Bargain
What the Highest Bidder forgot to consider was the fine print’s whisper, the shadowy slither of clauses concealed like snakes in a rut, their fangs bared sharp when the ink’s freshly cut. They came for the shimmer, the glimmer of gold, a promise of status too tempting to hold. A rollercoaster of ruinous glee— upward ambition, a plummet to sea. Oh, the calamity...

Caught in a spotlight from a star Long time ago extinguished Isn’t it good to see so far A mirrored image finished This view relates to time I guess If one looks from the star side A planet Earth must be a mess That long ago has died Time works like turning of the key It opens lots of spaces I borrowed little time for...

The Devil Doesn't Bargain
You're in my head again, it's been awhile since you've stopped in It would be a lie to say I missed you There's no point in missing something that keeps you so thin You always appear at the worst times It's a familiar knock at the door And sometimes I think you're here to kill me Because oftentimes there's...

Devil Doesn't Bargain
His charm. His physique. His humor. All things that a girl would love. All things that would make a girl obsessed. That’s exactly what happened to me. I got obsessed, I fell in love. Little did I know, I was in love with the devil. They say the devil comes as your greatest desire. Mine was love, and he used that. He brought this boy into...

Devil's Bargain
In the shadow of death, his darkest secrets hide, A devil’s bargain, where foul hidden dangers lie. His vile whisper in the night, a most sinister plea, Temptation’s dance calling, “Come waltz with me!” His eyes as black as coal, with his sly, wicked grin, The devil beckons you close; then he lures you in. A...

A smashing sound stirs, they “bang the gavel.” Concessions granted; court begins to unravel. The eight need votes, an agreement was reached. Abandoning rightwing values once preached Tenure, cast it as a repudiation of his failure to lead. Accusations of advancing policies, this day he’ll heed. Policies that harm American families and children What we are really saying is we must...

Walking down a forsaken road will often lead to mourning Life offers no guarantee of happiness. There is no warning that in dark places, there lurks a wicked demon, spawning temptations before us. We should reject him with scorning Never make a deal with the bird catcher who lies in wait He'll know your weakness and cast a line with...

We took our chance with trance, nurturing dark desires, holding dear mirrored fear, overcome by despair, with nothing left to cheer. We took our chance with trance, descending from heaven, conjuring an ego, living in a dream world, we’re now loathe to let go. We took our chance with trance, negating pulse of love for momentary gain and lost in the shadows, we’re bound to our thought chain. We took...

The selling of the soul A conscious act Surely well negotiated Deliberate pact But what if it could be Accidentally made For momentary glory Or getting laid The price too high Small print too small We've heard those excuses We've heard them all You sell your soul When you cross the line You always know From the tingle in your spine You are getting something You are not owed There's a price to...

The Devils Bargain
The life of a man is fraught with sorrow, a war of conscience with no tomorrow. The days of roses when summers would last, young men and women and the love they cast. Families struggle with silent issues, a lifetime of tears and endless tissues. Relief comes when it's buried in the ground, the secret is thrown where it's never found. The victims...

The Shopper
I am a shopper That’s what I claim to be Just look in my closet And you’ll have to agree Penney’s, Kohl’s and TJMaxx Oh, how I wish you didn’t charge tax You have the power to make my day I search for a bargain And never dismay When I find an aisle With a good array I smile and say hooray This is the way I...
