Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 21

The waters of the Holy Spirit stirred with strength And commenced to churn itself alive inside the well, Forming a new maelstrom so radiant it seemed to rise in special presentation, Roaring its heartfelt existence known Our prince roared to drown its verities out, As my eyes heavily poured forth its growing form "Cease your sobs of truth! Why in this well do you need your Father's light! When what I have shown you could palpitate the bloods of your capricious soul? Battle me you must... I know you must for He has confidence in you Where He has conviction in my destruction The undercurrents of my heart shan’t assuage you But the streams of you and your Lord’s duets estrange and enrage me I am jealous, oh salient woman, Jealous of how it stirs in you hope, I want to clasp its throat and murder it endlessly!!! I am your instrument, practice me... I am your tool, use me… Do not quench yourself just yet Be thirsty for me... Do not drink, Comprehend me Adore me just a little longer..." The waters swirled around me, seeping slowly The darkness in the well matured And his eyes glowed menacingly, Burning on me with fires rising He was thinking of what more he could say, Sifting through the urging thoughts, Desperate for a truth that would dominate the Holy Spirit’s sway I sang, "Those eyes once rested with me, The same eyes that envision evil ends, And transgressional beginnings, Those burning eyes full of fire and desire, Full of hate, envy and ire, What do they truly see, What do they reveal of me? Your eyes, they see an altered ultimatum, They are blind to our Father’s prophesies, And open to your own fantasies Unrealities and fictions made physical I will not practiceyou, I will experience you I will not use you, for I love you So Fictional Future, get past me And behind me! You have feasible eyes, so let them see, I am no queen, I serve the King! And these eyes you see here Look at me! These eyes you see here, The same eyes that have seen your hurt afresh, Pour forth warmest tears, They open widely To see exactly what they need to see They shall love and create freely Bearing each tempt and derision with a behemoth’s vision!" He stared into my fierce eyes, Jaws clenched, They watered, never blinking His vile thoughts meant to be verbalized, Yet well he knew to reach my ears he had to speak his heart Stemming from truth and virility "Those round beauties you possess, strong Majesty, Reveal potentials dragons only dream We are as equals, mine and your eye, Never simple, intensifying, powerful pupils, Expanding beauty with truth and lies... Your eyes, do you not see? I fathom what you knowingly perceive" He shuttered, staring "Focus on me, Your eyes penetrate the night, They challenge my own, With a love lost in my catastrophic tone.... Your eyes.... Over and over they cry.... Bring us peace, In different colors, changing in milliseconds they plead Like in the ground where your grandfather lies, Among veterans long dead, Fighting, losing and rotted Infinitely brave bones.... With soul blood pumping remembrance Your eyes, Your eyes are burying the dream with the death of denial I will see through them, And through mine you will see what you can be.... You can forever...forever, understand me..." Long are these songs in this wretched pit... Do not give in to it The dark is temporary The light is everlasting "I have faced you over and over, We all have And we all have eyes Past twenty, beyond forty days I have seen your cruel guise Do not tremble, oh dragon, Your jealous impatience Roars through those glowing eyes Your desires uncircumcised Look beyond us, you and I See my world of grace You have seen the bravery of my grandfather So possess my womanly frame Look beyond, Look above Look around, Realize through mine, And visualize a stream of love you constantly fight Today is a special day, So see it right..." I approached him slowly and touched him, Softly, his hands enclosed over mine His voice was hushed like the secret between him and I, Brushing in the brinks of thrill and suspense He wet his lips, readying them for emphasis "Now in this life, at this very moment in time, Beholding the wonders of many worlds in your eyes, I confess: I see him alive there, And I envy him, For he was eternally kind to you A part of you evermore A trinket you hold to your heart dearly As I lose you vastly And as for your God, I have known Him fully and turned from Him And I envy Him too, Just remember me, as you remembered me every night in prayer— He wants you, Though I need you."

I like the profundity of the Devil's admission,that he needs her where as God only wants her,the distinction is pivotal in his tempt.What is it that he needs of her so badly?What does she possess that makes his existence incomplete without her?Will he fail if she renounces her right to rule with him?What will her love for him achieve if she assaults his nature?This relationship is ethically titanic.Your love is rigorous, your language emphatic in this stirring portion of the epic Laura....J.A.B.

(2)Satan has leverage in the fact that he can provide her with what she wants - to fathom him and his wild ideas, abstaining from his true motifs maybe, holding back from more of his vile attributes and desires for fear of losing her completely…And she has strength from God’s Holy Spirit to bring out the truths in him, even though he is a layered and cryptic character who does everything in his own time and his own purpose. Her fear is that she will be lost in those eyes, as she sees reflections of herself in them, and she fears coming here has done more harm than good, that even though God sent her here for a purpose, as a test, she will fail and lose her place in God’s Kingdom for even questioning The Devil and his place in judgement and reconciliation.

(3)Where then would she belong than in the arms of Satan himself? He sees potentials of immense power and command in her soul, while she sees potentials of much greatness, vulnerability and good in his. She must protect herself whilst still creating with him. She not only wants to understand him, she wants to inspire unchangeable demons, surprise Death and appall Hades. She believes music will help in harmonizing with knowledge that she seeks. She doesn’t mean to change The Devil (though she might anyway), but she wants to be at peace with him. He wants her to fight him, which she at times must do. <3~Laura

(1)Thank you, Justin for your perceptive, inquisitive and intelligent mind. As this series will be at an end before I know it, your important questions are really helping me narrow my focus... this is a special section revealing powers and sensitivities, illuminating almost a troubled respect for the visitor from the prisoner-these two have a long history of dueting-- there is nothing new here under the sun, except that the devil is realizing more and more that there is unique passion in her eyes, and he needs that because he feels she has agitated God’s order(if only slightly) to get to where he is at now...he needs more than just her love though. Even though he knows her and in many ways hates her, the conversations between them leads to more admiration, maybe more determination as they continue to surprise and operate with each other.

Thanks Demetrios. Maelstroms of all shades, and all different strengths rises and falls throughout this piece--the light brings out the dark, the dark brings out the light. The Devil likes the stir and entice the soul-at times one feels nourished by the stings... ~Laura

Thank you for taking the time to read. Are they confessions, or desparate bursts of lies? Or a mixture of both.. the Devil is a crazy enigma to me.. this is a long project and I always appreciate the feedback!~Laura
