The Devil sat with me

Perhaps it is my final dream
As i sup my third of gin
to top the beer i took from tap
but i see the devil sat beside me
he looks at me with weary eyes
as i drink to blank my eyes
i feel my heart quiver in me
and he begins to sing to me
sweet lullabies to close my eyes
of places i will never see
of feelings i no longer feel
of blood and lust of hearts unfulfill
he sings as i drink of hells halls
of the damned dancing at beautiful balls
of dresses of silk and urmin
of tuxedo swishing accross the floor.

He sings as i drift off to the smell of gin
As i fall to the ground in his words i drown
Of the beauty i will find when i awake
And to his palace my soul takes.

I went to the desert on a horse with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain.

beautifull. i have often felt this way when thinking of the devil. excellent imagery. Great write!

hells gate reads Abandon hope all ye that enter here
shall we go?
the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Will you walk with me?

Well, I liked the imagery in this. I liked the way you … described? The devil in this, it was an interesting point of view. I suppose that I never really thought of him as being “weary”, it was a different point of perspective that I found interesting.

I liked the balls, the way you described them, telling us about the dresses and tuxedos helped me to get the feel of things. I really enjoyed this poem.

I hope to be able to see more of your poems in the near future

There is so much excellent imagery here.
I feel you portray the devil as being very grand, and wealthy in ways.

Excellent piece.
