A Song of Sadness

The Devil sings with your sadness,

Echoing whispered words,

Filtered madness...

The Devil sways with your sorrow, 

seductive silhouettes,

broken soul to borrow...

The Devil paints with your wrath,

A tapestry of sins,

Displayed under twilight path...

The Devil plays with your pain, 

spiked tunes of your tale, 

echoing in acid rain ...

The Devil conducts melodies with what you say

A symphony in silence,

Broken thoughts that never made it all the way...

The Devil built towers with your hopes,

Stealing good intentions,

Hanging dreams by fears and twisted ropes...

The Devil hears your fears,

twisted and taunting tokens, 

dripping from your tears...

The Devil knows your cost,

Number for a beast,

The mark of the lovelorn and lost...

The Devil caresses your containing,

Honey coated chains enticing,

Nothing left, no time remaining...

The Devil whispers with your waking, 

Body numb and mind aching;

You are mine now, and your soul ripe for my taking.

Excellent if I do say so myself. :) I especially like the blood stained white rose. It adds a poignant touch to the whole thing. I've been wanting to do something like this ever since the poetic lines of "A Letter Every Day". That was a fun one.

Bravo, Dew.

I like your poem!

Once again this is good, I like the concept. Your use of words is impeccable eliminating the necessity of much words to get across your point-The essence of good poetry.To be honest I can't even tell you the best lines because they are all good in my opinion. Good write!

A dark dance with the Devil, and made even more moving as a collaboration... Wild and deep brush-stroked music on canvas!
