NOTE: Ok this is kinda complex......3 characters in the poem. 1. The Demon     2. The narrator who lives out the story   3. The guy the narrator is speaking to giving advice.

OK so yea......the message is kinda deep but not too deep and hardly any symbolism.....but let's see what you get from this......kinda longer than usual, but the true readers will flow through the whole thing. Enjoy!

The Demons Secret:


A shadow enhancing the soul.
The demon of demons told
Me a secret long ago.
One that you should surely know.
It's short, but complex in all meaning.
So pay attention to finally bring
Sense to your life of heart break days.
Pay attention is all I say.

Red with passion, he leaned to my ear.
He told me every single one of my fears.
Looking into my eyes, he cried and wept
Fully understanding on what was kept
Away from me for all of time
Unabling me to call it mine.
I spoke alloud asking for aid,
But instead this secret, this promise was made.

He showed me the garden of earthly delight.
Then proceeded and showed me a light
Of heavenly bliss, and all that's true.
A world of love that no one knew.
Chattering commenced all around
Encased with feeling of safe and sound.
Asking a question of what was to be.
He sat, whispered, and simply told me.

"Live on with your life kind, gentle son.
The line segment has only just begun.
Smile brightly in fully knowing
That love is love in eternal glowing.
Moving on is so hard to do,
But it's the only way to always stay true.
In the end you'll stop the sinking,
And the mind will stay forever thinking."

I took his words and started to apply
What he said to avoid this lie.
You live in fear of decision making.
In reality the soul is breaking
Into pieces falling asunder.
A love you live, a spell you're under.
Try to see what happens when you fall.
The demon is not a demon at all.




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

You're right. That was deep. Good thing it wasn't too deep... anyway, great job, as usual   Keep it up, kay? If you stop writing poetry, I'll... I'll... I don't know what I'll do, but I'll do something!

Great writing Javier ... loved the lines above, and really enjoyed the depth of your thoughts and the weave of the story throughout the piece, well done!  

Best wishes,

I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be great, to put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.

Well thanks all.......this poem took some thought. I don't like the flow of it and some of the things are scattered....but the meaning i like.....but yea, it coulda been so much better. But i have a rule against revising my poems. I wing it.....WING!!!!!

...walks in late hoping no one will notice...  Excellent job on this!  I actually liked the flow, and the length of it is fine.  I'm putting this in my library so I'll remember to read it again later.

Well done.  Not enough people take the time to listen to this "demon" who is talking to them.  
Yes, deep but not too deep... but is there really such thing as "too deep?"
