The Devil Gets What He Wants...AlwaysA Poem by Mandy MooreIts late and Im bored A walk to the graveyard should do I follow the winding path Admire the gnarled, bare trees. The moon is full and bright Hidden by purple and black clouds The sky is velvet And there are no stars A tombstone reads "The Devil Gets What He Wants....Always" I kneel by a tree and bury my hands in the moist soil A shadow goes over me And I hear breathing Looking up, theres nothing A distant howl A near by laugh My scream Fill the air A hand caresses my hair And another lifts me to my feet I stare the demon in the eye And get weak The moon has broken out of the clouds And the graveyard is lit in hues of purple, green, and blue Music from afar fills the air now And I sway unwillingly His hand grabs mine Another to my waist Pulling me closer We twirl and spin And dip and swing A kiss on my check leads to kiss on my mouth His hands in my hair And a soft whisper in my ear "The devil gets what he wants....always." And he disappears On that lovely night I danced with the devil in the moonlight. © 2009 Mandy Moore |
