You found my words
                                 - and you devoured them 

                                     The jungle is thirsty
                                   and you must satisfy it

                                       The infinity of love,
                                  a strong and deep feeling
                                           I'm numb
                                    Within short minutes
                                  you change personality
                                 - created by the monster
                                         A black raven
                                       ... steals in vain

                               Kissed by the lips of contempt
                                       Crimes and shame,
                                      burning in your veins
                                       -  facing the wall
                                           - emptiness
                                       'No pain, no gain'

Blood dripping demon
                                 I can hear scraping under my bed
                                            My heart stops

When gazing Beta Persei,
a star with many ghoulish names, 
be wary of a winking eye
with fluctuating flames,
evincing evil aims.

Ancient mariners would watch with dread
and chant their prayers out loud,
when that “Eye in Medusa’s Severed Head”
was held by Perseus, proud,
high o’er the heathen crowd.

Sailors' hairs would stand and straighten
when that shady eye would shimmer.
The Hebrews shouted “Rosh ha Satan!”
when “The Head of Satan” grew grimmer
as "The Demon's Eye" got dimmer.

Dubbed “Ras al Ghul” in Arabic,
or “Algol” in the West,
“The Ghoul's Eye” plays a demon's trick,
resulting in unrest,
and much astro-interest:

Riding high in Autumn skies,
guiding galleon ships,
then fades before their fearful eyes,
by mean of an eclipse
of stars in an ellipse.

Then three days hence this trick repeats
with pre-ordained precision --
dark demon light again depletes
when it winks with wild derision,
which begs a bad decision.

Oh Ras al-Ghul! Oh Ras al Ghul!
So near and yet so far --
do not take me for a fool
that fears "The Demon Star,"
“The Devil’s Demon Star.”

Yet many who think it mirth, or myth,
will double down with doubts,
when that wily eye would wink forthwith
they’ll watch their whereabouts.
Better watch your whereabouts!

For those Gorgon snakes give you the shakes,
and chill you to the bone.
And one wrong look is all it takes
to turn you into stone,
eternally alone.

Demon In Plastic.

In grimed secluded alleyway’s it’s his key into the divine, 
Believing deliverance has arrived while he walks this narrow line,

Those eyes begin seeing reality his mind now lucid has cleared,
The truth’s of his past now a cacophony welling up within perfect ears,

Numbing out his nervous system a blind faith blanketed brain,
Sporadic lighting of violent flashes lost within his mind deranged,

Everything once believed assured now snippets of a life long elapsed,
Consigning his soul to valueless spirits his self worth allowed to collapse,

Without destination a wandering shell conforming to push through the days,
Ignoring the voices of pleas and salvation sinking farther within mired haze,

Memories taunting of mandible grasps devouring slowly his will to survive,
Nightmares convulsing those hideous features transforming beauty into 
despised,

Shrinking in angst from real vindication devolving back where the journey began,
He ties off his arm inserting the needle releasing the demons inside once again.

Premium Member My Evil Demon

There's an evil demon lurking
On the edges of my soul
I try my best to push him off
He's stubborn, very bold 

He tries to sway my thinking
And how I look at things
I tell him, “Take a hike!
Get lost, you ding-a-ling!”

He never seems to listen
He insists on causing trouble
It's his role he always says
I'm about to burst his bubble

Demons don't tell me what to do
Don't need these guys to coach
My standards are extremely high
My actions beyond reproach

There's an evil demon lurking
On the edges of my soul
But this here dude's not worried
I'm the guy that's in control!

The Screaming Demon

The Screaming Demon

You are a demon of our own creation
Screaming and crying all day and night
You make demands that we have to serve
Unrelenting you ripped our minds apart
So innocent in your looks
Your hands reach for us speaking of your needs
Is it all a trick to make us fall for your trap?
Your bright blue eyes talk of love
Soothing what is left of our minds and making us smile
While your voice makes us cringe in an unknown fear
We pray for you to take a sleep that never comes
Where did you come from?
What can we do you break your curse?
Ancestors from ages back asked the same question
They suffered the same torture that you inflect upon us
Someday the time will come when you will change
A moment months after your original creation
You will have a demon of your own
Then we will sit back and laugh as you suffer
If Karma is truly a ***** as they say
Two screaming demons will arrive
With innocent looks and a talent for pain they will come
Stressing you far beyond the torture you have shown us
And we will laugh


Premium Member Cancer - a Demon of Our Making

loss of control. an aberration. a defect,
when the perfection of creation is lost,
a cell grows and grows without a stop,
and all its purpose and function is deranged,
it blinds the eye or strangles the bowels,
floods the lungs or stops the heart!
children die for no good reason…
who can argue with such a demon?
Hippocrates knew it and the pharaohs,
but the disease was not as often as now,
as greed grew bigger and hatred spread,
more chemicals filled our living space,
the demon grew stronger and stronger,
now it catches and eats even babies in cradle,
what was once a disease of the old
now strikes the young before they have begun!
as a doctor, I have held the hand of a dying 5 year old,
waiting for his mother who was late to arrive,
The tragedy of cancer is not in the disease,
but in the fact that we are the cause of it,
more we destroy the nature we live in,
more poison we create for our own kind.
A life of purity and green living,
is the way to conquer many beasts
of our times.
true wealth is nature, that gives without count, no cash needed, no receipt printed.
False world of man gives tokens of no value, awards and merits that perish with time. 
we wear blinkers of social prejudices and lose the greater reality of nature!
Live in nature, love nature and be part of nature! 
A panacea for all man made diseases like cancer.

The Demon and the Angel

He sat on the bench
Watching the snow fall.
His snow white hair blending
Together with the snowflakes.
Wings stretched from his back.
They were the shape of a bird’s and had white feathers.
He closed his eyes, letting the snow fall on his face.
Enchanting, though no one could see.
Not the old lady who walked her small dog
Or the children who played in the snow drift.
But one boy did notice him.
This boy locked onto him with ruby red eyes.
His hair was black as night and bat wings stretched from his back.
He walked over to the other boy and sat next to him on the bench.
Peace.
Darkness.
They represent each other as their hands find each other.
Their fingers entwine, linking them.
Both close their eyes.
Their wings seem to cover each other.
The boy with white hair reached up and stroke the other’s wing.
Blue eyes shining, despite the sadness.
He wanted this moment to last for eternity.
Longing.
Aching.
But it would do no good.
They both knew at the end of the day
They would have to leave each other.
One would return to darkness
While the other returned to light.
Light
And
Dark.
Counterparts forever.
“I will miss you when I leave”, the white haired boy said.
Tears flooding down his cheeks.
The other boy smiled sadly and wiped his tears. 
“Despite the darkness around me, I will look to you as my light.”
Demon.
Angel.
World’s apart and yet still so in love.

Premium Member Broken: Her Demon

She's twisted and torn, turned inside out,
With yesterday gripping her foot,
She's prevented from enjoying any of today,
From living the life that she could,

But it's not the law, friends, enemies or foes,
Nobody takes her to task,
Instead it's the ghost who walks by her side,
A shadow from the days of her past,

Whispering, in dreams, the road she has walked,
Reminding her what she has done,
Telling her not to walk a new path,
That new thoughts should never be thunk.

On the outside she's fine, a smile and a nod,
No sign of a terrible storm,
It's all in her head, anxiety and pain,
On the inside she's twisted and torn.

Waking the Demon

Waking the demon

Do not try to conceal your lies
I know there is no truth inside
The words you spit are just to hide
For nothing good comes from lies
You will just get lost in your mind
Brewing slowly the blackness becomes
Overwhelming storms if deceit
Ones that drag and bury you deep
Crushing, smothering you need to break free
But the lies have you by the throat
No what can you do besides choke
You can flail and scream in its grip
But sorry now this one won’t slip
You built all this, your own decay
You woke this demon now you pay
The only way is out just to say
"This is it there is no other way"
There coming now don’t try to fight
Your body’s weekend, walk to the light
All this time you have thought you deceived
All this time you thought you got away
Too bad everything’s not how it seems
And that to you was just a dream

Premium Member how to exorcise a demon

tormented by an entity attachment
maybe it is black magic or maybe not
find out where within us lies the weakness 
that finds us in the demons clutches caught

perhaps an advanced medium can exorcise
the Frankenstein we have by fear created
but at end of days it’s really up to us
not to be by delusion dictated

Demon

A devil
Evil spirit
Regarded as cruel
The jealousy

The Demon Wins Again

The demon always wins.
You love thus you live.
You fly until death,
then the demon has fun.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Your fun is forever gone.
As if before was a fargone memory,
Now your curse has continued on.

Demon has taken my heart,
tearing my soul apart.
If it were an art,
then...

I am doomed...

Demon

Dark creature 
Evil and 
Malevolent, feeds on the souls
Of man before disappearing into the
Nights shadows.
