We live in a world devilishly demon deep.
Its shadows are luminous—shining like a star—
Fallen rays of rapture revealed to be regressive
Remuneration. Did we think they would pay?
What was received proactively? Retroactively?
Hell, what was ever really received?
The pie sits lopsided—sliding southward sideways—
The divisions crack their way across and
Deeply, damningly downward in dividends.
Demons taste best in meringue but not lemons—
Minced meat made from the fabric of desire—
They score their claws across the fire of our hearts.
Yet, here is where the beasts can and will misfire,
Like the burned boogeyman haunting our dreams—
Nightmares expanding outward into our mind’s expanse—
Can only remain if you choose to remain with them.
Demons are demonstrably attached to desire’s dread,
Necrotic necromancers resurrecting haunted hopes—
An army of aggressive appetite—aggrandized aspirations.
They are toxic and terrible—indeed, it sucks they’re inside.
But you, friend, can be an exorcist—just the same as I—
You can conjure the four corners and invoke the Spirit—
You can launch the most fiery magic toward them
Through uttering these most simple words:
I will not wish away what is,
But I will obliterate what never was.
Say them, repeat them, remember them. Believe them.
Stick to them and trust that God will get you through,
Because no more demons will be stuck in you.

A poem about the demonic it gives a magical mantra to expel the evil. Nicely worded and clearly imaged in vivid forms. Very nice
Thank you, my friend. Glad that it delivered! Your time and thoughts are greatly appreciated! 🔥🕊️🖤🙏
You've successfully woven an intricate tapestry concocted as an exorcism in and of itself which yet mystifies me. Fascinating, and intriguing the while it seems familiar, beautifully rendered with beyond excellent imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
Yay! Thank you dear friend! So glad that it delivered and that it felt mystifying and familiar at the same time. How exciting! Thank you again for your time, your thoughts and your support. Always appreciated, Missy! 🔥🕊️🖤🙏

You're welcome
Made me sweat, Tristan; and I'm not sure whether it was the demonic nature of your subject matter or your words pouring out in proliferation there.
Next time I'd like a jolly one please😂
LOL! That's the thing, things get much jollier without the "demons" so to speak! LOL! Fair enough, though! Glad this delivered, my friend! Your time, thoughts and support are always appreciated! 🔥🕊️🖤🙏
Glad of that Tristan, because for some reason, there have been poets who take offense at my frontal lobe atrophied commentary from time to time......lol
Never this poet! 😏
Hey T! Your poem storms with vivid fury, dragging shadows into the light and naming them boldly. Yet in its surge of darkness, there's a defiant spark—a rallying cry for inner reclamation. The closing lines land like a spell: simple, steadfast, and fiercely redemptive. 🙏🏻🕊️
You just named what this poem is all about: A defiant inner reclamation that is redemptive. I am so glad that the poem delivered, my friend. Your time and your insights are always a warm welcome! 🌹👏
Most welcome friend 🕊🙏🏻
