Demon Play

The skin I am in is the skin of sin
and the more I decay the more demons come out to play

A wasteland of impaired dreams is broken and better unspoken

For across a devil's brow I take a bow
and swim in a inferno ocean so dim

Hell is my eternal cell

Raven, you always grab my interest with your writing. The topics are always very cool and your writing really builds itself off the title. Being a Lovecraft fanatic, your work is some of my favorite on here. This poem caught my attention in the very first line. It reminded me of a book I'm reading called the Name of the Wind. Then I kept reading your poem and it brought me to the same feeling I got while reading Dante's Inferno. Altogether wonderful, I cant wait to see what else you come out with.

Raven, you take a few words and turn them into gold. Each word of each sentence/stanza is perfect. You woven another masterpiece. I love reading your writing style. Excellent! Most excellent!

I like this description of a demon. Especially the wasteland.

Oh my God Raven, I adore this perfect piece! I also so want to add to it! If you ever want to work together on this let me know!

Well done. I really liked this one. Good job. The life of a demon is hard and full of pain and sorrow

I'm also a speed reader oddly enough and I so love your newest poem Raven. I like how you spaced the lines apart. you could probably use this as dialogue for a short film.
