My Dance With The Devil

  

Depths of hell

Swallow me

Only to spit me out.

First degree burns

All that remain

Though never showing.

I danced with the devil

And never paid

Or just maybe… I did!!

Only time will tell

When all is revealed.

 

Anticipation…

 

… frustration

 

tears at my soul

and cracks my skull

making the heart explode.

 

Now I know…

 

…Now I see

 

The cracked mirror

Has always reflected

What I couldn’t see

Oh well… to late now.

Dale.........sometimes we think we can have it both ways...but, there is good and bad, and when we go one way or the other, and when we are bad we do dance with the devil and how quickly it may catch up with us....off guard and unexpected at times!
A write with much wisdom and advice for us.......be careful what we do!...we may have pay for it in a way we least expect!

Looking into the mirror and seeing the dark parts of us is never an easy thing to do. It takes a brave man to look within the folds. Excellent as always!

Ahh.. This whole poem was literally amazing. It was so dark and chilling. The title really stood out to me. You never let me down with your writings.

I lucked out tonight and saw a completely new side to you. Still so skilled but dark and human. I feel humbled.

Tis through the eyes of our deceptions and dreams that we see ourselves and take our chances, but the price is never far behind the deed.
Loved this one it shows a depth of heart and soul.
