Denise Morgan Poet Prose

The Devil's Pathway

The Devil's Pathway
A road of sweet temptation
And depraved debaucheries
A road of sinful excess and,
No foreseeable boundaries
Explicit acceptance is the rule

I've been warned
Never to tread upon the 
Devil's Pathway
A pathway of 
Self-destruction... the 
intensity of sublimity
Pleasure. Just be 
A puppet on God's
Holy puppet strings

But yet
I've been born a sinner
According to 
Strict religious teachings
Rooting for heaven
Still my tainted black soul
Just wants to feel the
Heightened sensations 
Of the Devil's Pathway.

So, out of curiosity I tread
Unto the Devil's Pathway 
Tuning into salacious tales
Outlandish laughter and
Detecting sheer naughtiness
in high-pitched giggles
Causing my knees to
Weaken with
Blissful excitement.

If I should stumble and fall...
Fall knee down on the
Devil's Pathway
Crawling through the 
Quagmire of drains and
Ditches
Wallowing
In lust, desire and greed...
Ergo my wretched soul
Feeling the blasted heat
Of a gamut of red hot emotions
Will truly come to know polarity.

For
Eventually
Fire consumes everything
On the Devil's Pathway.
