In the presence of the DEVIL/In the absence of GOD

U lay there
Writhing in agony
I see your face
Ur eyes shut
With the weight of misery
Twist and turn
Your face changes
It contorts
Moves in angles, juxtaposed
Your mouth opens
No sound
A scream, a wail,
Flailing your arms
Leave me! Leave me!
Death , leave me.

They are trying to kill me!
Quick take me away!
Who are you?
Kill me!
Kill u!
Don’t want to fight!
I will win!
Thoughts chasing each other
You scream them out loud
Leave them ! leave them!
Death, leave me.

I feel the presence of a devil
A lunatic, a mad woman,
A paranoia…… it alters reality
Your world has only the thoughts That run in your mind
Its your kingdom And you will see it run amok
Its your kingdom But your not the king
….As yet.


She condems Death
MOANS, bemoans!
Greed,LUST,
Anger,Hate
HATE ,HATE,HATE
MYSELF !, MYSELF !
YOU, YOU !
She fades in and out
But she never stops talking
She babbles her biography
To old, worn ears
Fights, talks ,jabbers
Screams!
Withered old hands turning black
Her face a loose mask on
The devil’s shadow
She screams in fear
In pain!
She is tied to the crucifix of her mind
And she wants to break free! Escape!
I see death hanging by the door
I will see him again
Soon!
