Devil, Devil

Note: One of my favorite poems, edited and revised. Entered in a contest; now published in a poetry anthology. ^_^ I'm published! Yay!

Devil, Devil, always near
Whisp'ring mischief in my ear
Urging forth the things I fear
He who holds the darkness dear
Disdaining all things bright

Devil, Devil, prankster he
That shadow will forever be
As far as ruby eye can see
The gloom he spreads to you and me
Cannot be touched by light

Devil, Devil, wrought by hate
Thirst for sorrow won't abate
Not content to watch and wait
Luring when the hour is late
And lauding morbid night

Devil, Devil, time grows nigh
The sun is rising in the sky
He can choose to laugh or cry
Decide to either live or die
For Darkness is in flight

Note: Read and review, thanks.
