I Met the Devil Today

I MET the devil wearing a sun dress this day in May she winked at me in a most persuasive way and asked if I had change for thirty pieces of silver being poor I only had my soul to offer this day We strolled across the river of Life -- I almost fell in nimble and fast, she caught my heartstrings -- and said: "never again do that" -- and my heart caught fire & eyes bled i beg to be devoured by pleasure than wracked by life today She loves me as the Libra that I am - so romantic in my ways i grab onto the drops of her tears -- so swept away this sinful day the giver who never expects a gift in return --if only for love When doves die do they fly north or south - remain in place I say Within my body a magnetic heart -- attracts and burns some souls and crows sing the song forgotten for so long as we dance for days twilight burns pavement and heals unborn promises this way ice cries and fire smiles all the while we wept as humans in life I met the devil today -- she was wearing the mask I lost in childhood asking not what I could do for her -- she gave a love -- unmatched burning fields of daisies as we walked through the countryside by side the rains came -- the skies moaned and asked for flesh and bone today --//--
