Demon's Life

Since its almost Halloween ;)

I pass like a ghost unseen,

alien, arcane, obscurity itself.

Unknown to your senses, hidden without trying.

A nightmare forgotten is my home, tucked away in your wary mind.

Here I set free your skeletons chained, open every closet you have closed.

I watch your hopes, your dreams, your life.

Watching them closely, I can see all shades.

The occult I bring forth, the mystic I command

They are no cheap magic trick, I assure you darling,

I do pull the strings in your life.

You never see me, you never hear me.

I stalk, I walk. I sneak, I follow your step

And when you stop, I pass like a ghost unseen

and take with me the alien, arcane and obscurity itself

to my next prey...

I read others reviews/comments referencing the darkness; I tend to write pessimistically so the darkness to me was more lighter and veered more towards spooky

keep up the good work

Wow, I like the way you described the criminal profile of demons and how they have all the time in the world to watch persons because they do not have a life of their own.

Which makes them unable to posses and that is the reason they tell persons that they are being watched because they want to make life uncomfortable with their whispers.

Hope was able to describe what the poem was about.

I love this part: "Unknown to your senses, hidden without trying", all in all, the poem is captivating in a spooky way, you really delivered the fear factor in this piece.

Sometimes life can be stranger than fiction, and our wildest imaginations tend to be closer to the truth...

Spot-on poetry!

Nice job. We all have skeletons in our closet which haunt us and sometimes control us. Very good analogies. Very eerie and ominous. I think you captured the feeling well.

[Kim]

Thank you :)

This sounds so...personal and eerie. I love it. I love the line "Unknown to your senses, hidden without trying." It so relatable and hits somewhere deep in chest somewhere. And the words "Alien, arcane, obscurity itself" fit together so smoothly like pieces of a puzzle. The repetition of the words really accentuates their importance. All in all this was a great poem. Kudos.

[Kim]

Thank you, glad you liked it :)

Never thought of the life of a demon before...usually it's the fear of a demon. I did enjoy the dark, lurking nature of this write, even as the words I had just read passed like a ghost unseen

[Kim]

Haha glad you liked it! :)

[SuspectGray]

[Kim]

Haha, I feel your challenge. I see myself raising my left hand in the air and twirling you around to your dismay of being caught. Fun though!

[Kim]

Glad you enjoyed it :)
