Innocent Bell

35 8 8
                                    

Far away
In a floral field
Dangles a golden bell
Its chimes are carcases to thy ear

A man sits
In the soft grass
Inhaling the wafting aroma
And listening to the melody pass

The bell is divine
Tis lit with golden sun
Anon draws the end of the light
But the man is far from avaunt his fun

A cuckold and forever ow'st
The man may be other days
But not this day, listening to the sweet
The sweet, innocent bell he perchance stumbled across

But as the night
Draws itself inside
Mistake the man made about the bell
Sans the sound, sans the charm, sans the light

An act
The bell was disguised
It opens its vile, crawling maw
Glistening saliva stretched wide

Jagged teeth
A swollen, hungry tongue
And a putrid odour filling the field
From the once sweet bellsong

'Hark!' he calls
As he is swallowed within the extrusion
A sweet, golden bell crunched him up
But, then again, innocence is life's greatest illusion...
