The devil
Leans on faultless side
Blaming aches on broken toes
Gritting teeth to catch my will
Cramming roots with raucous woes
The devil
Bears upon my win
Her loosing forces tongue to rip
Knowing not how far she’ll swipe
I bow to miss her chorus grip
The devil
Dates my wondrous flight
She clips my wings as failing soars
Her nails carve out sharpened nibs
To empty raw and heart filled pores
The devil
Wears my crown at night
Shielding light from sleeping eyes
Her fingers bash upon my brow
And stamps my fortune red with lies
The devil
Dances wildly right
While steady rains on all went wrong
Her thread I knot around my neck
And pray she stays for lengths too long
This is a lovely blend of art and writing 🙂
