It feels like it’ll take forever

Between the dunk and very first bite

Of that luscious chocolate wafer

And it’s sugary middle, so white

You have to get it so perfect

It has be done with precision, just right

Else you’ll wind up with cookie mush

Then oh, what a terrible plight!

Remember, to take it slowly

You must learn, with all your might

To wait til the very last moment

Then it’s gone, in your mouth, out of sight

In swirls of mist, the echoes speak
Take heed to what you hear
For once the sunlight starts to peek
This all will, soon, disappear

Shrouded by gray, in the foggy morn
A spectral being, arrives, forlorn

His castle, now in ruins, lay
As he recalls that fateful day

When men stood brave, atop the wall
Then mightily, one by one, did fall

Soldiers, rigid, took the chance
Heroic men, who bowed to thee
Imprisoned, by your ignorant stance
A realm of misfortune, you did not foresee

Now, this being, in limbo’s cell
Fears, for there is no return
Caught in eternal living hell
His freedom is what he yearns

He had quite a fetish for her feet

Every night, she gave him a treat

He would start at her toes

And with passionate throes

Wind up where he should not, sneaky Pete

In a cavern, far below the earth
Darkness could easily be found
Violet stones show their worth
Underneath the frozen ground

Shards, the likes of icy gems
Glisten, when they catch the light
But beauty hides the worst of them
They disappear, nowhere in sight

You cannot see the danger, when
You walk across the tundra
The cavern opens up its jaws, then
It carries you, down under

There’s no escape, from the well below
You’ve reached your eternal slumber
And they’ll go back to their violet glow
But your mind, will be torn asunder
