"Agares" (Demon #2)

King Agares (Agreas). The Second Demon from the 'Ars Goetia'.

                               "Agares" (Demon #2)

I am Agares the grand duke, ruling the eastern zones of hell/
I can make runaways come back, & make run those who stand still
I have the power to destroy dignities, both temporal and supernatural/
I teach languages and find pleasure, in teaching expressions of immoral
As I ride upon my crocodile, the spirit of a little old man/
The governor of 31 legions, I appear with a goshawk on my hand
My zodiac sign is Aries, and my tarot is that of the three wands/
From the order of virtue, I can make all the earth's spirits dance
My day is the element of fire, yet mild in appearance and pale/
But don't let my looks deceive you, as I am not feeble nor frail
I control powerful people in hell, who have their eyes upon your soul/
And that's all I'm willing to tell you, because my story musn't be told.

I read your poem, but find it difficult to relate and review...maybe because I don't believe there is a hell...or even a heaven... so please excuse me from delving into it...I'm sure other poets will love it.
Best,
Betty

Although this poem is not very much my style, I like this work and I encourage him to continue to write, because we should not let the poetry that runs in our veins die. Keep going.

I like this Demon. I like how you ensured the reader knew. The appearance can trick you. Never judge a book by the cover. This include the demons. Thank you for sharing the excellent tale and poetry.
