The Devil I Know

The eyes blazed with fire bright Hair black as space unknown Skin smooth like satin touch In seductive voices she lets her scriptures flow And that’s the devil I know Better the devil I know Blood warm lips that taste like wine Long tapered fingers that entwine My soul for her to keep That’s the devil I know Better the devil I know Her chest heaves in play As she makes my body sway Her grey hound thin waist Delight my tastes with the slightest brush Curved like a scimitar blade Her back ripples like dragon scales With unholy grace such that’s only seen to be believed She wraps her legs around me Her scent of passion surrounds me All I can do is try to breathe Spent and wasted I lie Next to the devil I know Better the devil I know I wake in days to hide My nights spent to cry Hoping, wishing, dying Yearning her return Better the devil I know That’s the devil I used to know

He knows our every weakness. I've known a few devils myself. Great poem.
