Laugh at the Devil Kissing in the night light, showered by the moonlight, holding hands tight by an easy flowing lake. Frogs making croak sounds. Soft is the grassy ground Wine on our lips for we’re lovers on a date. Warm air licks the light tasting odors spicing night. Trees disappear down a road of dark and dense. From their gloom ejects a speck. It gallops on heat and mist and yet no clouds of dust and dirt reflect, defying our common sense. Closer came it. Nearer! Nearer! Now, its form became much clearer. A horse, pale and steaming, rode the Devil who us did find. He stopped. We froze. His words did say, “Which way to Boston? I’ve lost my way” We pointed trembling. Then off he rode! Then off, we lost our minds. We fell on grass in teary-frantic-laughter-shrieking-rampant-panic. Weak, our knees of jello wouldn’t lift us off the ground ‘til one lone frog cleared throat to croak in air perfumed, now freed of smoke, and said “Oh Man! That’s one strange bloke.” The Devil turned around. His eyes were frozen fractured eggs streaked by crimsom veiny legs glaring on the frog with such amuse that oozed from Hell. “I’m not so strange as you may think. With tongue you catch the flies, then blink. For I am Appetite, the ruthless link, who rings your dinner bell. I am your Hunger in the belly of the beast. I am your Cunning that chases the feast. I am your Agony in the pain of flesh. I am your Deceit that kills Truth best. But of all things my black-heart fills most with glee is that a little bit of you has such a whole lot of me. Ha! Ha! Ha! It’s just the Devil in ya son! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Kinda warms your heart, don’t it! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Gotta go! Namyh |

This is so well written and made me laugh ... do you think I am at risk of a close encounter? haha It was a romantic moment and you were happy, but you conveyed the devil on the scene ... "it's not so strange" actually, because of the fear of losing what blesses us. Next time convey the Angels and dance with them! Anyway this was a captivating write. Oh ... and I think the poor frog knows better than to believe what he was told! Love, Margherita |

Margherita – If you were captivated and were made to laugh, then you have confimed the intent of this scribbler of words. If I could have conveyed the Angels, I would have. But the Devil arrived before they got there. As for the poor frog knowing better than to believe the Devil, well I remember another frog believing that if he were kissed by a beautiful woman he would turn human. Strange thing about frogs and humans, sometimes both will believe anything they’re told. So very good to hear from you again Margherita. That you can believe!"Ribbit" LOL. Namyh |

 Today while driving I suddenly thought of your frog who dared to speak ... I saw it somehow like a cartoon in my mind and had to laugh again.This is cute and I hope others too will enjoy reading it. Don't you underestimate the speed of Angels! They are heavenly beings and can move as fast as a thought! oh does "he" sometimes remember that "he" was a beautiful Angel? I believe "he" does and one day ... well "he" will have enough of darkness I tell you. Hell will burn out, no reason to exist anymore, when Love will truly reign. |
