A Devil on Halloween Night

I.

Liar, destroyer, the God of the Flies

a breeze of nothing but empty darkness

a fallen angel weeping emptiness

Mephistopheles stands without disguise.

His pleasure is to watch us all perish

our destruction his proper element

an infection from wounded pestilent

so suddenly the world seems nightmarish.

Yet without his darkness there is no light

a fresh blood from new dead will circulate

this Devil will never leave our person.

Shatters our beautiful world with his night

like vulture eating flesh will nauseate

offering gift of bitter confusion.

II.

With bodies our souls are bound to this Earth

with vanity illusion of beauty

a never-ending pit his dark duty

within his arms beauty dies as does worth.

As time passes appearance will perish

to create wildfires, storms, and commotion

such horror we are clueless of motion

the sudden loss of all things we cherish.

Calm will never dwell in his footsteps here

what evil spirits wail within his chest

whose voices waver bending like loose sail.

To teach us this world is made up of fear

he will take your souls discomfort to test

to hold a grin and bottle up each wail.

III.

After his curse the lot seems unshaken

only to find themselves feeling despair

as he filets flesh and lays our souls bare

insidious nature will awaken.

He will make lovers break their deep pledges

by sweet excess of his heavy tendrils

somehow we bow as he removes entrails

or as he tests our flesh on sharp edges.

He will dry up lakes and destroy mountains

where birds will land on rivers of acid

when our death comes there will be no welcome.

No mercy as he dries up our fountains

our angry ribboned plea becomes placid

somewhere between Finnsech Street and Gruesome.
