Dance with the Devil
I have danced with the devil.
I have lain by his side
consumed by the fiery flames of passion…..
I have lusted.
I have wanted.
I have devoured…
but bit by bit
he began to devour
my soul with his lies…
I have danced with the devil.
by his side I have lain
screaming out in loving pain…
waves of ecstasy
consuming my soul…
I have seen his light
deep and bright
hidden beneath
the dark , soulless night…
I have danced with the devil
lusted, wanted, devoured
his flesh with my flesh…
Like a poisoned drug
I imbibed
the fiery flames of passion..
but the lies and deception
left my thirst unquenched…
The light I saw
was hidden from sight
his soul swathed
in the black, dark night.
I have danced with the devil
concealing my own light
disguised behind the mask
of sensual delights….
but the lies and deception
left my thirst unquenched……
and the fiery flames of passion
turned my heart into a frozen shard
bereft of love and compassion…..

Yes, I definitely have a dark side . The words dancing with the devil piped into my head the other day, and then this morning his face appeared in a mutual friends picture , so I googled images dance with the devil and viola another dark poem from Ivonne. Nice balance to all the lovey- dovey stuff I write.

Reblogged this on Ladywithatruck's Blog and commented:
I have often referred to sleeping with the devil or dancing with the devil,
This is an excellent poem making the same reference.

Ahh, I see another woman whohas danced with the devil. I do believe that in some way or another we have all danced with our own personal devils.
Thank you for re-blogging.

Thank you, I am glad you liked it. That was a fun piece to do. I think I might work it into a song.

Do it ! I have done it with some of my poems, and some of my talented friends. It opens up a whole new area of appreciation for the words and helps the emotion to become more apparent through rhythm.
