Demon rises, make it fall.

As the demon rises, I feel my heart start to fall,

As the demon rises, I shout at reason from down the hall,

The demon mocks me whispering in my ear,

Conjuring my darkest fear as I lose myself to your deadly charms,

And in my brain all I hear is alarms,

As daylight slowly disapears,

Its so hard to resist, as I see your face and how it leers,

Drawing me closer, the demon pushes me foward so I see you clearly,

I see your body and the demon says,

 You know you want it near me,

You know you crave it more with each movement closer, you know you're hungry,

Just move forward a little more, so close now you can feel her warm breath,

Steal it away, but don't take her to her death,

But then again you would follow her to the grave, as if it were simply,

Some midnight rave...But beyond the rave what do you see?

Do you see her beauty, that you know you should set free?

Or are you selfish and want her for your own?

or is it just that she makes your house feel like a home,

I spit in the demons face,

I tell him I've had enough, I tell it he's a disgrace,

Let it fall away, that's all I want today, she's already free,

Surely somebody should be saving me?

I could question my whole life away wondering what could be,

But imagine how much of a waste, that would surely be to me.

The demon is fallen, but how soon till he rises, luring me back to her,

Wishing she was one of his prizes, for to him I suppose we are his prized pair,

For he loves to terrorise when I fall deep into the lair,

Dangle her like a treat above my head,

Or dangle her over the edge of a cliff, to make me fear what I'd do if she were dead..

Very gripping! For me, the most fascinating aspect of this poem is trying to decipher what the demon is, or what it represents. Truly well done. I'm impressed.

Wow Nicely Done INDEED!!!! Wonderful writing Tink just fabulous! I love the rhyme and the story and the imagery and though the meter had its touchy moments you couldn't fault it over much as the whole rest of the poem just blew it out of the water.... completely captivating a wonderfully written poem indeed!

Fantastic imagery and very well written. We all have uor demons, all of which want something destructive. Nice description of what that is to you.
Good job
