He creeps into my mind
his steps crushes
my consciousness,
conquers my
power of thinking.
The quiver in my voice,
as he slits
my throat
with his insanity,
slaughters my own people .
The words come out
like a fireball
coerced by his torture.
Bloodshed of his fierce battle
spreads upon my sentient soul.
The demon dances maliciously
wining over my pneuma
to the sound of my
cry in delirium.

Very scary, yet compelling at the same time, Kritika. The photo is perfect for this post. Sometimes it’s best to let these dark thoughts out by writing them down and sharing them.

To speak the truth, I always wanted to write on demon. I tried, but couldn’t quite write it well. Today, words just kept coming and hence the poem. A creepy phase leading to creepy thoughts, maybe?
