allowing customers to watch the display.

to bring the stage into view.

I once knew a old man named Oden
he told stories galor about his time in the war
and always held everyones attention
he passed on his unending wisdom
even though some did not listen
Herein lies a body with an interesting story to tell,
for its soul rest in hell.
Out of the infinite number of ways to die,
his was a tale that went awry.
His life was one of simple comings;
I used to swim by Scotland's coast.
Gliding carefree, quiet as a ghost.
It's the serenity I miss the most.
They called me the Lochness Monster.
They'd run away when I would splash.
it is the treasures of love that often fool
conceled, conceited, always too cruel.
on the path of meloncholia, the lonely traveler stumbles upon a house
made of ivory and honey.
There once was a traveler from a distant land,
She traveled to the mountains and the sand,
One time she traveled to the furthest peak,
her lips were a bloody crimson, calling attention in the dim light of crowded dance floor.
[her dress was hellfire, scorching those who got too close]
her voice was soft, husky
her lips were a bloody crimson,calling attention in the dim lightof crowded dance floor. [her dress was hellfire, scorching those who got too close] her voice was soft, husky
One moment a dark room
Candles soothing
The next
A bright blinding bike ride
Sage burns
Clouds cover a multitude of eyes
Whispers can be heard for miles at a time
Fat rotting
Goddess of the war
The war storming in her head,
she of strong will and knowledge
Walking the halls striding closer, Ever closer
Dionysus, the man of greed
The king of ecstasy
The queen of mead
Dionysus, Dionysus, the graceful drunk
The dapper playboy
With charm and spunk
Walking, hurting, body aching
facing demons in a quest
Trials and trials continue approaching
each on reeks of death
Through each trial a voice is heard
In historical mythology,
She had the power to turn men to stone
With a simple meeting of the eyes.
Legend painted her to be evil,
And lived her tragic tale alone
But have you put into consideration
I can feel her
Here with me
Weeping on the floor
I feel her hand on my shoulder
Artemis wipes my tears
Hera holds my hand
The world is a haze
But they are clear
What hides in the internet
Tangling code
Sending error messages
Down pixelated roads,
What haunts the ethernet
Bogging down speed
Gobbling MB
Fertilizing ads thick as weeds,
Dionysus today,
Has found a new job,
As a very popular Youtuber.
He is dripping in Gucci,
And Chanel and Supreme,
And Italian brands you've never even heard of.
“will you marry me, Hera?”
“no means no, Zeus. i’ve seen how you are with other girls and i’m not interested.”
he smiled at her
Women are right to fear the dark.
This is what they learn —
Through gentle warnings,
Whispered words —
Asclepius had decided being a doctor was what he wanted to do with his life.
He studied for tests, stayed up all night.
He stayed in the library,
until they turned off the light.
When he graduated,
He flits throughout the school,
Out of sight, out of mind.
Delivering love letters between lockers,
Exchanging notes between outstreched hands.
Carrying the smell of fresh flowers;
