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!

I'm always glad with my work when I read your reviews. I love the way you analyze and really search for the meaning in each write. That means a lot buddy! Thank you

It is tough to control the evil thoughts that seep in sometimes and you capture that struggle very well, Aaron...I think you answer your own question in your last stanza: hope!! Even a momentary surge of strength is enough to lift the veil of darkness and I believe you have it because you are already writing about it... well-done, my friend... i am rooting for you in this battle within the mind!!!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you FT... yes hope my friend :) I even have a bottle of holy water on my dresser since I think my house is haunted lol :)

[Mara]

Another brilliant piece, I especially love the first stanza!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much Tee :) Sometimes things just come out and so the thoughts started coming and the first stanza is what started the entire write for me :)

[Dani The Unreviewed]

[AaronFreitas]

[wordman]

you are in a spiritual warfare,just rebuke the demon,pray for a hedge of protection around you
and plead the blood of jesus on your home and family.and if your not right with god,then get right

[AaronFreitas]

I am right with God buddy just gotta pray and get through the times. I think some of it has to do with this house I live in.

[wordman]

if they are in the house they will attack you as well

I think many of us find our minds tipping us into thoughts that would otherwise be called 'madness'. Usually at times of threat or stress. I know I had murderous feelings towards my ex and her lover but wrote it out in a novel. You capture that struggle in this piece Aaron and it is told in a soulful voice of someone wanting to be released from such plaguing intrusive thoughts.

[AaronFreitas]

You are right my friend... writing things out does definitely help... better than going all postal! haha thanks for the advice buddy!

[Bluefire]

Interesting, I like the first and last stanzas the most.
Well played!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Bluefire :) Appreciate your feedback :)

[Bluefire]

No problem, sir Freitas

We leave our lasting impression
by defining the strength we find
even if only monetarily to fight
and destroy what is our fate.

This last stanza defines you better.
Great one friend.

[AaronFreitas]
