demons

clifton redmond

Curious I am
to impure calls of night
to thoughts that grasp my hand
and stray me from the light


They shriek as demons will
crawl forth from satans breast
and dance in ethers stead
my heart be all but blessed


Till morn she brings the light
and shadows reappear
they steal into the shade
my demons disappear
