An Incantation

The stairway to heaven 
wouldn't find use here
needs, darker than a black soul
lost in the empty pages of time
forgotten lives for the killing
my soul seeks you Lucifer 
entwined, entombed serpent coils
Embrace the vile in me and rejuvenate

hey you gotto know where you at, and in this you do make a statement...may you find rejuvenation...

Alas that Lucifer was His best, The Master's Archangel, the most loved. Divinity, so close to him and yet so far.
I'd still choose Master over Lucifer.
No one is dark enough that light cannot purge.

Nice post.

Cheers,
Blasphemous Aesthete

Funny... not many would voice that they would choose darkness, Lucifer himself, yet how many fall from grace, and choose him momentarily. Lest we stumble on the stairway...

Wow! Rich, dark piece.

I love it.

It describes the struggle between good and evil perfectly. Sometimes we just want to unleash our monsters.

Lost in the empty pages of time, that line alone just stands out to me...I feel that way sometimes...your writing to me reads like a reflection (often) that's the beauty of poetry for me, although a poet writes in perhaps one direction it's all the other directions that one's words can send a reader...lovely. Thanks for stopping by and giving me an exciting idea for another post! Have a day feel with happiness take care!

What a strong intro you've penned here! Dark writing fits the image well.

Very nice. The "entwined" and "entombed" serpent embrace is great. A lust which can only be quenched by supreme evil, and that embrace has powers of rejuvenation...evil is often depicted as a destructive force, but there may be an enlivening power which it has for those who are not merely too weak to escape it, but who embrace and revel in it.

I like the journey you take us on from the stairway to heaven through constraint and darkness to "rejuvenate." Wow.

Dark Magpie tale. Excellent.

Dark, powerful and poignant! This was wonderful!

Pat Tillett said...

dark dark dark
just as dark as can be.

I so like "embrace the vile in me" An interesting coincidence - "vile", "evil" and "live" are anagrams. But we'll draw a "veil" over that . . .
