My Demon Lurks - 2015

My Demon Lurks - 2015

A Poem by SariahM
"

How, even though we think demons are bad, they can sometimes be good for you, let you hold on to your sanity.

"
My demon lurks
behind my eyes.
He likes to sit
where he can
see the world.

My demon whispers
into my ear
waiting for me
to listen.

My demon hates
what he cant see,
so he hides
behind my
eyes.

My eyes
are his doorway
To see what
I am.

I am his doorway
to earth,
which he was
born from.

He came from
the earth
so hot and red.

His mother,
is Gaea.
He is my
demon.

She cannot take
my demon,
She will not take
my demon,
for my demon
is
LOVE.

"She cannot take

She will not take

LOVE."

I enjoyed this very much. Very well done. Sometimes the demon can be your savior. Only the prson with the one who is strong enough to knowledge their demon knows.

I love your descriptions :) "My demon whispers into my ear waiting for me to listen." That line has a haunting effect but it was perfect for this write. Great work Sariah :)

Very good poem! I like the comparison with love. The only downside I see with this poem is that I find the imagery just a little lacking. It isn't bad, but there is some potential for an interesting scene to be painted here.

I like the concept that demons could be good as well as evil. To me it could represent the mixture of emotions that come with love whether its happiness or pain they come as a package deal. Really enjoy this piece!

Even the brightest things create shadows. Your expression of love is very clear, and I enjoyed it. Thank you!

thank you!
I like it, it shows how the best things can also be the worst. The only thing that I found that didn't work was probably you could focus on the demon and less of the earth.
