Notes About The Poem

- In Darkness -

With the pen of the demon ...

  Only the devil and dragons
  can breathe out smoke
  of mouth and nose

  Separate yourself from the dark
  ... and show your face

Darkness, true evil, very seldom shows it's face - because it is a spineless coward. I get this poem. Short verse, powerful.

Darkness engulfs, and the demons raise their chalices to wreak havoc on all! They do hide behind their masks, to cover their true identity, for if we knew who they really were...we would never be around them at all (Not saying that we do let them in)! I really loved reading your incredibly well-written poem here this morning! You have delighted me by your clever piece...what a scary pic too! Great Work!!
