I SEE THE DEVIL..

Thought provoking

                                         Into the fire of madness

                                         Sin spirals our emotions become unleveled

                                           We open our eyes calling from darkness

                                          And in the mirror we see the devil…

                                          As the black opens up

                                           Mystery follows his name

                                           An image of horror

                                            Stepping out from the flame

                                              Don’t believe in a creature with horns

                                             Or a long red pointy tail

                                             Believe he waits in the cracks of evil

                                              In a place we call Hell.

                                            His presence lives through the violence

                                             On all the pain and suffering he feeds

                                             Walking across our hearts creating footprints

                                             Until every soul starts to bleed

                                             He paints the walls with murder

                                             Adds in jealous and lust

                                             He whispers in our ears playing with our minds

                                             Making us paranoid  wondering who to trust

                                             He is a shadow over our reflection 

                                             Tempting us through out our lives

                                              Feeling weak and wounded

                                              Until we no longer want to be alive

                                              We can gather together at the cross

                                              Making our final stand

                                              Calling out the unholy

                                              As hold each others hand

                                              Walking away from madness

                                              Our emotions become more level

                                               Closing our eyes from darkness

                                              We no longer see the devil!!

Very well written poem. Impressive work. Very chilling dark images in this that ring true. But, as in the ending of your splendid poem, hope exists and is there for the taking for those who wish to escape the vil/sin in our lives. I enjoyed reading this new poem of yours Sean.
