Divan

God is alone,-but the devil, he is far from being alone; he sees a great deal of company; he is legion. - Thoreau

Tears don't walk.

They run.

Pain doesn't hide.

It shows.

Betrayal asks not for permission.

Its rudeness forbodes.

Lies refuse to stand at attention.

They slouch.

When Satan comes calling, he's not coy in the corner.

He sits next to you on the couch ...

Author's Note

"I am resolved that I will not through humility become the devil's attorney. I will endeavor to speak a good word for the truth." - Thoreau

This is so decadent & true. This is incredibly vibrant writing becuz you're probing our deepest thoughts with these universal observations stated in peeled-down ways, coupled with the artwork, it's as if every line is a stab of the poker. I'm already in the mood for some twisted Halloween themes & this quenches my thirst (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

i actually creeped myself out when i did this one. came to me in a flash. don't know where this stuff comes from (depends on mood i guess). the pic makes me uncomfortable and seemed to fit perfectly with the words ... :)

[Gee]

The fella in the pic looks like he should be hanging off the arm of an early day Marc Almond( I think that was his name)
Death, Satan are never shy in coming forward, although to be fair they usually rock up without any fuss or fanfare :)
Enjoyed this wee read Pete.
Hope you are well.
