Demon

I looked deep into the eyes of a demon,
just to realize that I had been mistaken.
It was, an angel, instead.

Author's Note

This is about the seemingly deceptive nature of angels.

[Perdition]

Well, now I can identify with this one. With a name like Perdition that was originally intended to quantify the process of poetry and the poet. A living hell so to speak but in the end you'd cut off your hand for a poem. A wealth in the words here and chilling expression. This one makes you wonder if it was a mirror or a single day a brand of breakfast cereal or some remnant of the past lingering that you finally made peace with...or perhaps all. Wealthy in reflection and dichotomy. Thanks~

[Perdition]

Well, can't be that deep if I already reviewed it...probably the pre-ghoul hours are getting to me. I don't even have my Litte Red Riding Hood costume fitted yet ;[. Will read on~

[Perdition]

[light and ashes]

Much confusion, Often difficult to tell the difference these days. These are dark times, make no mistake about that. Good and evil are waging global warfare, and by my score good could use a few more soldiers. God save us from ourselves!

[light and ashes]

Amen, 🙏🙌

Thank you.

Angels were not always beleived to be good. Sometimes there is a fine line between good and evil.

we just can't tell at first can we....some of the sweetest seeming people end up taking our soul...while some of the scariest seeming people turn out to be good Samaritans...

much shown in three lines.

Demon and angel. I met both. Both can be sweet. Nice use of words my friend. I was saved by angels often and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
