I invoke thee, i invoke thee, oh great horned one
and ask you to dance again on the earth, twix stars and the sun
let me feel your evil presence across my sweaty face
like i did one day dancing on the greek isle of Thrace
with cloven hooves thundering like the great God of Pan
wandering into people like the lost tribe of Dan
come back, and show yourself on this fallen Earth
let me once again look at your stature and your girth
and you alone possess those who murder and kill in the night
under the cover of darkness, away from the divine light
faces that peer through the foggy, steamed, windows of despair
away from the marble, of the heavenly white stairs
i invoke thee, i invoke thee, come to me now
come through the gap of space, in that heavenly bright plough
i need to kill to satisfy your insatiable desire for bloodlust
i need to plunge that dagger into that victim's bust
but instead i dig deeper at the wells of my wrist
blood oozing out at every turn of the knives twist
i invoke thee, i invoke thee, grant me a last bloody kiss

That was fantastic, off the charts. I am a better writer, and hopefully a better man, after having read that. That was a true shout to the muse - my most humble thanks.

George, a strange poetry, something about Demon? About beauty of the Demon and his power and rights to the power? About the last call, or to seek a refuge into the power of the Demon?
"in that heavenly bright plough
i need to kill to satisfy your insatiable desire for bloodlust " - is that- the Demon commands, one just responds to that order, bit confusing, but impressive. One step further- than you can even explore more- the nature of the Demon, his loneliness, solitude, etc. as the great poet Lermontov in his poem "Demon" did.{18 century? } It is really extraordinary poetry, George, I don't know if you're familiar with his work- but something very fascinating is going on there with you, I suggest you read Lermontov, will give you an unexpected pleasure.
But I don't know much about poetry, just guessing, forgive me if I've gotten it all wrong,

Dang! Look how far some discipline has brought you ! I'm amazed by this one ~ and really like your "I invoke thee"s. Very intense, this one. Excellent.

Thanks, J Hillenberg, Bee and Liz for your comments......and i thought this one was going to disappear unnoticed........
