Demonic Plague

Demonic Plague

A Poem by AaronFreitas
"

I honestly don't even know where this came from but when I wrote this is what came out.

"

I have an infatuation with demons

that inexplicably pluck innocent

thoughts from the mind and

replace them with pure evil. 

 

If I can’t fight them off

I will find myself drowning

in a pool of blood and death

while slowly roasting in hell.

 

Where do we find strength

when all we know has already

turned its back on us and

left us to rot in a world full of hate?

 

We leave our lasting impression

by defining the strength we find

even if only momentarily to fight

and destroy what is our fate.

This is so of a fantasy form of poetry; some of the choice of words depicts mid-darkness and horror. Words like pure-evil, drowning in a pool of blood and death, roasting in hell, are threatening to the poet and knowing such predicaments are sure to come unless he defeated that which need to be fight off, haunts him. Many things are to be drawn from this piece of amazing write-up, but this I've for now. Thanks for sharing.... Bona!

Good question brought to life in your words.
"Where do we find strength
when all we know has already
turned its back on us and
left us to rot in a world full of hate?"
I believe we must lead with concern and kindness. Hope more folks follow. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This is a dark write Aaron , it is so hard to see the light or be able to find hope when we feel so beaten down! I loved the note how this just came out and you went with it! Sometimes they make the best writes and clearly this proves just that!
Brilliant my friend! :)

Thanks my true friend :)
A test of will with the demonic dominion, what a creative subject to write about, kind makes reminds me of the book The Warded Man by Peter Brett. You seem to come up with the most engaging ideas, I can only applaud your warped and twisted mind. Maybe you should try script writing and pitch a few of these ideas Hollywood s way :~)

Superb...I loved this dark piece of yours
Everybody goes through this self battle phase at some point or the other and you penned it really well. The first stanza itself excited my senses. Thanks for sharing. :D

Thank you buddy... glad you got the message :) Appreciate your review :)
A stark piece here with startling dark imagery, my friend, about tackling ones personal demons. I think the visualization, in writing such as this, of beating temptation actually helps make it come true - like a boxer who envisages putting their opponent down -
great comeback write Aaron. :)

In the penultimate line : I think momentarily instead of monetarily?

Good piece Aaron. If you try to control yourself from within with that determination to stay strong nothing can ever destroy you dear.

Interesting piece...on one hand it conjures the thoughts of control on society and how easy it is to fall for such tricks and on the other hand it gives thought to the easiness we are vulnerable with internally, is light stronger than darkness? Or indeed, is darkness stronger than light, only the heart knows, I think :)
