Long Lost Demon

Nocturnal enigmas spin a funnel labyrinth

Toward alternative dominion of turpitude

As I tease the keys of my ruptured piano and anticipate

That soon hallucination liberates me from myself

But maybe it is too late

For I am a spider under reality’s heel

I am but a long lost demon

In a parade of perdition

Reviews

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this poem. Though to me it seems as if the speaker is finally accepting what and who they are and the darkness that lives with in them. I am not entirely sure if I am right but this was a interesting poem to read.

For I am a spider under reality’s heel

"That soon hallucination liberates me from myself" such powerful words

I feel like this poem describes giving up to a demon within oneself. We all have them and this just shows that they exist within them.

Interesting. Makes me wanna go inside the poet's mind. I love the depth of the piece. It's gothic style added appeal. It even made me read it a few times more.
Nice work.

The demon in the dark night of the soul.. Wanting to be liberated and it's a hallucination... excellent write..x

I can't for the life of me tell you why, but this has a very erotic taste to it!
