Demon

By:Greg Anthony

The effervescent glow of the light

that thou make’th thee burn my eyes

red like fire with the minds solomn vow

the gargantuan demons which crawl over their prey

towering high above the minds of the meek

Not to be fooled by the rivers gurgle which

all alone goes no where

I had wanted to make it go somewhere once

I had wanted to make the clouds convex

to convey unto thee mind

like the rotting corpse whose decaying body

still seems to have life

as the lonely maggots eat away carelessly at a creature that was

Ignoring the mute protests of the trees that sprout anew

from dying souls the residents make home

In an new vessel the flowered urn do’th lifts my misery to show me

the relief and thus bestow upon this unworthy soul a dream called happiness
