Eternally cast into a porcelain shell,
a marionette frame, suspended from strings
of ill intentions.
Eyes, blank slates, evil permeating deep,
a hiding place of anonymity within those
windows of emptiness.
Percolating sins of entities that gaze
upon empty vessels, legions of gathering
spirits lost in a realm of disbelief,
hosting demented desires.
Unwilling suspects with candied delights,
a face of a toy unbound by restrictions
framed by embered ashes straight from the depths
of undesirable flames.
Hastiness speckled in hue's of crimson
drained from unwilling participants,
in a game of mischievous destruction.
