Dark angel baring broken wing, you’re the crier at night, days scorpion’s sting Sybarite bon vivant emersed in rituals Facetious and obscure devotions. An angel banished from heaven, for craving omnipotence at all costs Hell's indelible denizen in Dante’s Inferno or Milton’s Paradise Lost, Kundalini Serpent, Astaroth, Azazel, Beelzebub, the morning star Tainted love you’ve tired of Lies and deception, your friend and foe Deserving of this not you and so heil the magik that ills and pains although your nature has jaded you perform the morality play. Pal owl perched on glove wise bird see more, less spoken, hears her muse recite replaced by ravens her ghouls delight.

Congratulations on placing in my contest. First I want to say I loved the image you choose. I throughly enjoyed your dark imagery in your poem. The mention of Dante's Inferno which I absolutely love. "Abandon all hope ye who enter here," to your use of alternative names for the devil. Truly a captivating write.

Dear anaya, what a catchy title and how gothic and well woven is this take on the prompt, love the wordplay and how youv used different ways to address the satan, is so very clever of you. The picture youv used here is one ive also loved and used long time ago on instagram. "see more, less spoken, hears her muse recite replaced by ravens her ghouls delight." A soul hitting ending! Congratulations on your placement in saras contest. Sending you light

Anaya, banished from heaven for seeking omnipotence at all costs...hmm...who or what small group of people does that make me think of? However, as I read, I think you have compassion for this entity who was striving for meaning of some kind without acceptance. A tough place to be.

I try to feel for the protagonist but she self defeats with hate, unleashed are her binding spells, failing at life over again,and letting go the divine navigator for dark obsessions, cursed with raven wings . It's not Valhalla! ;)

Dear Anaya, So hauntingly beautiful. I would say a dark and evocative masterpiece. I liked your imagery of the "dark angel" with a "broken wing" and the interplay between celestial and infernal realms is absolutely gripping. Great use of mythology, literature, and yes, the raw emotion inked into your lines showcases your incredible depth. chilling and mesmerizing. Loved It!! Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

The images I at times search first, they will excite my imagery muses and fuel my senses! This is quite the contrast from my last entry "Afterglow" Daniel, I've been here almost four years and am gleaning much-needed knowledge. Your support and compliment are everything, such encouragement. TY! Only the best vernal vibes with you ~

Quite a darkie you've written here. No sympathy for the devil (or his demon cohorts) on my end, Jagger notwithstanding. Sara should like this. She seems to revel in darkness

My goal to have all three serpant, scorpion and owl get a part, got it done and am proud of that, although I won't get on the homepage ha ha., perhaps somewhere on the list for dark goth vibe and poetic verse, would be nice. I've been reading her poetry and love everything about her eloquent style, whoa
