the devil wears loose skin and drinks green tea

plain, just like she hates it

the devil spends long nights researching

she asks me to cry so she can sleep

and she doesn't like my clothes

the devil spends her spare time in the bathroom

she scrubs her body down to size

and stands between me and the mirror

the devil is more afraid than you realise

she wants to be loved, to be desirable

she attempts to murder me in her fervour

i will never forgive her

and i will always want her

divine spotlight

the devil wears lipstick and white

so all the stains show;

the devil touches everything.

the devil lives in the shadows;

not to hide, but to invite us in.

the devil makes our sins impossible to ignore.

The Devil

Satan takes my hands

And leads me in a waltz

Pulls in me in and whispers

In my ear all my faults

I am wearing gloves

To cover up my sin

A step one two we twirl around

No contact between skin

The Devil wears glasses and a hat

I can't clearly see his face

But to be fair, mine isn't clear

We both part without a trace

grey

the devil wears black and white,

blurring the lines between good and evil.

muddling together into shades of grey.

moral ambiguity dulling our world

into slurred monochrome,

like half-melted snow

collecting at the edge of the road,

stained by snowplows

and the grime of everyday life.

the devil is playing a role

and it's one he fulfills with pride,

but when he hangs up his horns at night,

his virtues are allowed to shine.

the light that he's forced to hide

in his working hours.

the devil wears black and white,

depending on the time of day.

he's forced to put up a facade,

awaiting the moment where he can shed

his checkerboard personality

for his true shade

of grey.

Crimson Tales

This devil wears your tears

This devil becomes your fears

And this devil is your home

And this devil is your comb

This devil wears your skin

This devil lives within

And this devil will take

And this devil will shake

This devil is known

This devil is your own

And this devil wears the scars

And this devil behind iris bars

This devil is in me and you

This devil is a real Deja Vu

The Devil Wears Us Well

The Devil wears

Good and Evil

and wears it

All too well.

Cuts a sexy

figure down

the middle,

Cut above

a cute lil

belly pooch

Broached in a

lemniscate

diamond pin

whose shapely

pair of lying

question marks

intertwine and

beguile in their

Hypnotic arts

to limbo

the stricken

within false

Persona,

wearing skins

and outfits,

to the nine:

Admired but

illusioned in

Our minds...

Sleeping Terror

Curl up to sleep on a dinner plate

Awaken feet first in a behemoths belly

That shadow comes alive again

Taking the shapeless form

Of some towering monstrosity

A sore festering in a nightmares

Swollen cheek

Black mass of teeth that knows

Nothing but pain and meat

An ugly spider in the corner

For whom life is a waiting game

Trapped in an iron lung

Lies nothing but a severed head

That must be content to stare

Wide eyed at the ceiling

Till morning feels like coming home

To save the leftovers

For another nightly feast

L**E S**ks

L**e--

You demonize everything.

Yes! You!

A hell of a roller-coaster ride.

Astral projections be damned.

Cursing feeds your soul.

F**king up, you owe me that screw-loose!

Happy now that this universe's a mess?

The Devil wears a friendly smile, and gloats over your gullibility.

H walks in daylight like ordinary people,

sizing up who he will take next.

Matters not your wealth,

your poorness,

The friends you have,

the work you do.

His job ... recruit minions for his domain.

To keep the fires burning,

as you sweat, toil, scream.

And you will scream.

It's in the contract you never signed.

The demons

I see demons every day roaming

stench of ego fogs the school halls

beady eyes watching you, waiting for you to trip

Others have long hands waiting to grab you

The dangerous ones look human and sweet, for the untold black hole that is in their souls awaits, sometimes it appear in their eyes or smile.

I've dealt with those at a young age, not knowing who they really were.

I was scared of being alone so I stayed...longer than I should have.

Fresh air filled my lungs as I basket in the sun holding the hand of my future ride or die best friend, I saved her from my past demons. though she doesn't remember.
