Demonic Plague

I honestly don't even know where this came from but when I wrote this is what came out.

I have an infatuation with demons

that inexplicably pluck innocent

thoughts from the mind and

replace them with pure evil. 

 

If I can’t fight them off

I will find myself drowning

in a pool of blood and death

while slowly roasting in hell.

 

Where do we find strength

when all we know has already

turned its back on us and

left us to rot in a world full of hate?

 

We leave our lasting impression

by defining the strength we find

even if only momentarily to fight

and destroy what is our fate.

This is so of a fantasy form of poetry; some of the choice of words depicts mid-darkness and horror. Words like pure-evil, drowning in a pool of blood and death, roasting in hell, are threatening to the poet and knowing such predicaments are sure to come unless he defeated that which need to be fight off, haunts him. Many things are to be drawn from this piece of amazing write-up, but this I've for now. Thanks for sharing.... Bona!

it came from a great writing mind obviously, a ghoulishly creepy poem my friend and one that's very enjoyable with a chink of light to end :)

It can be a never ending battle but in the end I believe if we approach everyone and everything we do with love, love wins out each time! This is a great write with profound meaning.
