A Demon's Death At Dawn

*this poem was written after a very traumatizing experience this weekend. I am still in shock of it all, although I have had many paranormal experiences before..I wasn't sure about a title for it, so dear Justin Bordner saved me yet again. Thanks so much! My heart to you all!*

"The magnetic center,
The center pulls you close...
From beneath you,
It devours" -From Beneath You  - Nemesea

Deranged mastermind, 
You have taken my dreams yet again,
Gazing in the hollows of your thoughts
Evil intent splashing in shadows all around me

Treacherous demon, 
Brought on by black tempests dressed in fire, 
Rest your ire…rest your ire
Allow these ever-blinking lids to tire

Dangerous manifestation,
Tempt me no longer in the night
Standing, crouching, sinking
Watching me with those turbulent thoughts

Why is it you stare at me so? 
Taken from infant’s tears, 
My companion, you have drained all her sane,
So that she cannot sleep without the light…
The light in which you still disdain

Why do you whisper to me,
When well you know my heart will shutter
In sight of you, the screams I will cover
With the lucidity of my curious love
Resting on your wing in heart of above

You possessive dragon,
Creep into my respite,
And I promise,
The wandering of your life will cease,
Exceeding the ecstasy of your evil
The sky shall meet daylight
And the open door will close to end your triumph…

Something to think about--an experience without a known logical explanation. There are many wonderful and mysterious things that happen, and our brain is receptive to them in different ways. May you have rest and peace always--and of course--a wonderful life (every day). Your presence here is enchanting and always something I look forward to.

"Brought on by black tempests dressed in fire rest your ire....Taken from infant's tears" the balance of rhyme and metaphor in this poem is masterful! There is a strength in this confrontation, to avenge your soul. This is an amazing defense of a heart...brilliant spiritual literature Laura...J.A.B. This is a FAV!

A Demon's Death At Dawn is the title I would offer for this soul battle poem my dear Laura...the language you command hits the nerves that lead to the pulse of the soul's courage. I'm enamored by this relationship wherein paranormal boundries collide with an ultimatum of your soul's independence. A history of dark violations has reached the moment of a brave future willing to fight for liberation from fear Laura...J.A.B.
