Twisted

Twisted

Generations of flaws spin through the spiral helix of my skin

Like a beast outside your door coiled to spring

The corkscrew of repentance unplugs the fountain

Joy twists through a heart that's entwined with love



I'm a hefty fellow from a large family

I like food, sweets, and coffee like the rest of my kin

The only time we're not quiet is playing pit or Yahtzee

Generations of flaws spin through the spiral helix of my skin


There are pleasures in the world like a smorgasbord to try

What starts as a joy can have such sorrow to bring

Nothing wrong with a little more your desires will lie

Like a beast outside your door is coiled to spring


Beware what's planted when you seek pastures fresher

Quickly a trembling molehill becomes a volcanic mountain

Try to screw the lid down but it causes such pressure

The corkscrew of repentance unplugs the fountain


You get caught in whirlpool when your sea is storming

The wind whipped vortex tornado touches down from above 

Get thru the souls dark night and joy comes in the morning

Joy twists through a heart that's entwined with love
