As I stand at the edge of the abyss
I wonder at the gifts the darkness brings
The angels dare not venture here
The flames to hot for hallowed wings
So as hope gives way to despair
There can be no room for such things here
So I welcome my demons as my friends
I do not cower from there their acid kiss
For they alone comfort me
As I stand here at the edge of the abyss

You strike both a negative and a positive note in this ABYSSMAL poem! Britain facing BREXIT ~ France another suicide disaster (84 killed in Nice) ~ The threat of TRUMP looming over the USA and mayhem here there and everywhere So (as you say) let us welcome the DEMONS and kill them with kindness. If you fall into the ABYSS ~ that is the end physically. Don't let the Demons (Satan & his Angels) push you over the edge ~ challenge them with love (an alkaline kiss ?) and they will "depart from you for a season !" Thanks for sharing BRIAN
Thanks Brian.

Thanks WW.
I love this piece - as I love most things dark - but you really paint a plethora of images here. From the 'hallowed wings' of the angels right through to the demons' 'acid kiss' - would love to read more! Excellent work! 😀 Xx
