The Devil Poems

Premium MemberSchmoozing with the Devil

Some call him Mr. President 
some call him Mr. Trump
Now he also will be known 
as Putin’s little chump

He’s broken every oath he took
each word he speaks, a lie
He whispers words of secrecy
just like a Russian spy

The leaders all around the world 
now see him as a foe
Still in awe, of how a jewel 
is now a horror show 

He greeted a known villain 
with a welcome mat of red
As countless bombs rained on Ukraine 
and innocents lie dead

He stands against democracy
a puppet and a fool
Schmoozing with the devil
he is Putin’s favorite tool

So now it’s all left up to us
to stop this fascist swing
For we, the People, will not serve 
a tyrant or a king

EVIL IS THE DEVIL

The devil is afraid 
I told him to show his face
He's steadily hiding in dark
Plotting evil 
Taking me unaware, he's a coward 

If he can't get to me
He comes through 
Those are  close to me 
I use discernment 
So I don't hurt those that are prey to him.

His words are so soothing 
But his heart 
Is filled with hatred and deceit 
Whenever he offers things 
Which I know he doesn't give for free 
Every gift has hidden intention
Steadily plotting to ruin or destroy
Those that are aware and confident.

Premium MemberThe Devil Philosopy

The parties were in full swing.  
The doorbell rang, yet no one knew it.  
In that instant, everything changed for the party guests.  
Speak softly, lean in closer, and turn down the volume.  
A sudden death—another soul has taken its last breath.  
Did he pass the test? Sniffing cocaine, he choked,  
Dust scattering across his desk.  
What a mess!  
This was his life; he surrendered to cocaine—  
Cocaine was his guilty pleasure.  
Have you ever witnessed their souls diving into the sea?  
It's too late for cleansing.  
The drip, drip, drip of blood dissolves into the sea.  
This evokes a different philosophy—  
The devil’s philosophy.

THE DEVIL

In shadows cast, where darkness thrives,
A figure lurks, with malevolent eyes.
The Devil, whispered in tales of old,
A symbol of temptations manifold.

Cloaked in deceit, with a cunning grin,
A mastermind of chaos from within.
In folklore spun and scriptures penned,
The embodiment of sins, some contend.

A rebel angel, once adorned with light,
Now dwelling in the realms of night.
With whispers sly and fiery schemes,
The Devil haunts our mortal dreams.

Yet, in the depths of this abyss,
Reflections of our darker bliss.
A mirror to our flaws and fears,
The Devil's guise, a warning near.

A choice defined by each soul's sway,
To resist temptation or lead astray.
In verses dark and tales untold,
The Devil's myth, a story unfolds.

Premium Memberdance with the devil

like a miserable cockroach he wriggled
through wreckage in the sump of his life
bottle in hand and at delirious mouth
in a macabre rehearsal of final strides

what had once been a passionate waltz
had become a legless inebriated pirouette
moribund madness personified 
liquified insanity stumbling to hell
with wings of destruction in overdrive 

it was a sink hole leap towards the abyss
each jump digging deeper and faster
into the rock bottom of body mind and soul

eventually all music and heart stopped
yet he remembered cacophonous decrescendo 
enough to wake up from self-inflicted catatonia

like a phoenix and still tarred and feathered by booze
he decided to rise again whatever the cost

the rest is a miracle and sober blessing and still
he knows that Icarus had pinions of wax
therefore he stayed close to new foundations 
of hard-won truths and the reality of his privilege

Premium MemberTHE DEVIL NAMED DEMENTIA

I'm in a pickle
Soured sometimes I cry
Because there's not much time here 
For I will soon leave memories behind
There is no time for regrets
No time for bitterness
Nothing needs to be undone
I'm only space filled with skin and bones
A beautiful mind only remembers from long ago
I brushed my teeth today
I dressed myself
Combed my hair
I looked in the mirror
I saw a stranger staring back at me
He was crying 
Soured by his predicament 
I washed my face and walked away
I don't remember
Did I comb my hair?

The Devil I Know - Trump

Trump, 
he's not perfect, admittedly so, but who of us is?
He can be crass, he is brash, and he'll even talk some trash.
He's not hiding who he is. I much prefer knowing who I am 
dealing with, than the last joker we got screwed with!

Biden was an unscrupulous thief, selling out our country
for financial gain, with his bagman son! 
His administration and the cabal of despicable bureaucrats,
who were actually pulling the strings, while covering up Biden's
obvious mental decline! At least I know who's running the country now.

Yes, sure there are things I don't care for, regarding how Trump
conducts himself, but what I do know about him is this, that he wants
America to be Great, for me, for you, for us all, and since this is the
country I live in, I want that too! 
So, in the meantime, I'll put up with a few character flaws!

the devil vs my heart

The devil couldn't reach me 
He instead put this heart in my chest 
This heart the beats for all the wrong people 
A heart that beats too loudly 
For the people whose hearts don't beat back 
A heart that feels too much 
And never learns 
This heart that yearns for love 
That doesn't understand when it's not love…
It cares for the hands that push it away 
It aches for the voices, that will never call back,
The devil couldn't reach me 
But at some point he learned he didn't have to 
With a heart like this 
It would destroy itself tearing it apart piece by piece 
And call it love

Riding Shotgun With The Devil

Staring into the clear blue Sky,

Tears Fill my Eyes,

As the crows come flying by,

High above the trees,

Dancing with the Breeze.

I'm Down on my knees,

Shoveling,

Digging up My roots.

Exposing bitter Truths.

Who I Use to Be,

The parts I Wish weren't me.

Opening the door,

I settle in.

Riding Shotgun with The Devil,

Riding to a different level.

Balancing the Machine,

Repairing the Seam.

Picking up Steam,

Becoming a Team.

How it may seem,

Unclean.

Yet Unseen,

Lie Lessons to Glean.

See the Important Role,

It plays Teaching a Soul.

Finding Light in the Dark,

I embark upon Dimensions,

Sparking my intentions.

Exposing my Ascension,

The Curses and Blessings.

Challenging and testing,

Keeping me Guessing.

It's my Hands on The Wheel,

I can see them from here.

I'm Feeling no control,

Going with the flow.

The best I Know,

Shining as I go.

Sharing my Light,

I stop to pay the Toll.

Continuing our roll,

I begin to let go.

Riding Shotgun with the Devil,

Riding on a whole new Level.

Teaching me what I know,

To Show Love,

To All Those,

Looking to,

Grow.

Laughter Keeps The Devil Away

I Told The Devil Goodbye

I met her where her shadow leaned,
Beneath the cold and hollow sky,
Her voice was soft, her eyes unseen—
Yet still, I told the devil, yes goodbye.

She traced her hand along my wrist,
Her touch like ash, her breath warm mist,
She whispered, "Stay, you won't be missed, "
But I refused to pay the cost.

She promised love, she promised light,
A kingdom built on velvet lies,
Yet I have danced in darker nights
And seen the ruin in her green eyes.

So when she called, I turned away,
I would not beg, I would not cry—
Let others kneel, let others stay,
But I have told the devil, yes goodbye.

A deal with the devil

In twilight's hush, where shadows play
A figure emerges, come what may
With eyes aglow, like embers bright
He offers deals, with a wicked delight

His voice is smooth, like silk to touch
As he weaves promises, with a wicked clutch
He'll grant your dreams, with a twisted grin
But at a cost, that's locked within

A soul for sale, a heart to bind
A deal with the devil, forever entwined
In darkness deep, where terrors roam
You'll find yourself, in a wicked home

With every step, with every fall
You'll realize, the deal's not worth it all
For in the end, when the darkness fades
You'll be left with, a heart that's enslaved

Yet still we tempt, the devil's snare
Lured by promises, that seem so fair
But beware, dear heart, of the deal's dark might
For once you sign, there's no turning back the night

Dancing with the Devil

In the woods, 
Dances a devil named hope
That is out to get you
It's holds a power, so divine
It can set your life in flames
or grow daisies on your grave

Do not step on the same steps 
Do not walk on the safe grounds
it will ask you to take risk
give you posion or love potion 
to see what it makes of you

The Devil is in the Details

It is in the details.

Between the things that seemed to matter but never really did,
and the things that you overlooked, 
that crawled quietly into your head and found a home in you.

It is in the details.

The shadows cast on the ruins of love as the sun goes down.

It is the way that her eyes seemed to change colour
when she needed you the most,
the way  you stacked the spare change from your pocket, 
one coin carefully on top of another,
 on your bedside table at the end of the day.

Yes, the devil is in the details.

Don’t forget who it is that you love when everything has been stripped bare....
