- - - PORTRAIT : THE JOKER'S WILD - - -
The joke's on you
Madness, turmoil, faces blue
Unhinged with violence
I will spread my pestilence
Tip top at the death of love
The blood is raining from above
The king of killers
And a queen of thieves
In mourning droves
When ravens grieve
Splatter, slathered, salty tears
Maniacal throughout the years
The killer of kings
And the thief of queens
Corpses molder
'Neath luscious greens
Hop hip to devilish muse
Yes, it's likely I've blown a fuse
The joker is wild
With the deadman's scythe
The laughing crowds
The time is ripe
Skip jump to festive hues
Yes, it's likely I've come unglued
The wild of jokers
With the man's dead scythe
The time has come
The trials of life
The joke's on you
Madness, turmoil, faces blue
Unhinged with violence
I will spread my pestilence
All that I have seen
Has stained me
Jaded with madness
In the crucible
Of sadness
Scream grin darkness engulfing
Monsters relinquishing to laughing
Dementia enraged
Faces in the blood
Heralding sin
Covered in mud
Lash claw against my restraints
Kings and queens deaf to my complaints
Enraged demented
And my bloody face
Minstrel crimson
Utter disgrace
The joke's on you
Madness, turmoil, faces blue
Unhinged with violence
I will spread my pestilence

I honestly believe that this Joker would have easily brought down his King's Kingdom if the past was encased with the present. . .Wicked ink doesn't even begin to describe this, my King. . .Bloody ink is more the taint!. . .xoxo, Devlin/Devil;)

This Joker is part of the key to the entire story. I hope the ending gives it justice. Thank you for the kind words.
