Devilish This Fear

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

Devil borrows
Twilight’s voice
tortures sensibility

Tangled bedclothes
grumble, inflexible
bedmates – unsupportive

Where is reason?
my mind wails
heart drumming discord

I access light,
perch on edge of bed
will myself to breathe

(My dear husband is in hospital again, his fifth surgery to reconstruct his knee. It’s been a long ordeal and my heart bleeds for him. Fear is an awful bedmate. I submit this poem in response to the promptings of Eugi’s Weekly prompt: twilight and Reena’s Xploration challenge: devil. Image my own.)

Pain — Charmed Chaos

Pain does this to a body-pushes you to the brink surrounds you in deceptive arms making you believe that it always was and always will be here washing you up on a rusty shore anchored by the weight of its magnitude and there you sit, buried in quicksand thoughts and shifting stone Waiting for the next blinding wave praying it will not be as […]Pain … Continue reading Pain — Charmed Chaos

Reena’s Xploration Challenge # 188 – Devil

Devil …. By Sadje

Sadje/ Sadie's avatarKeep it alive

Reena is our host for Reena’s Xploration Challenge

PROMPT #188

The word prompt for today is

DEVIL

Don’t look outwards to find the devil

It resides within your own soul

Some part of our personality is good, angelic


And some of it is leaning to the bad side, devilish


When we stray or do something bad


We blame it to the whispering of the devil


But the promptings come from our baser nature, the devil within


We gladly take credit for all the good deeds we do


But we need to hold ourselves responsible for the mistakes too


Tame the devil hidden in plain sight


And you’ve won the war of the good vs evil

♾♾♾

Failed ploy

Failed ploy …….by Punam

paeansunplugged's avatarpaeansunpluggedblog

He hides in the shadows as twilight descends

Standing behind the icy curtain of frost in the vale

Plotting a sinister plan so vile, as the day slowly ends

Around midnight the wind suddenly turns into a gale.

The dead and the departed respond to his call

Obsidian figures rise as if in a trance

They move as directed; at his beck and call

In a messianic frenzy they begin to dance.

He stands now in front of the dank, ornate crypt

Hoping to regain life from his inamorata lying supine

With fingers, like daggers, his beloved’s heart is ripped

Tears of blood fall from the heaven and dogs begin to whine!

Slithering snakes shatter the syntax of the night

Howling hyenas hum scenting a hunt

Lighting strikes thrice cleaving the night

Bringing to a naught his devilish stunt!

Without Knees

Without Knees ….. by Larry Trasciatti

PROMPT #188

The Devil is always found in

The shadows and on the shoreline

In atonal music and eisegesis

A dashing dapper gentleman and scholar

An intoxicatingly lovely woman

As easily as a raging lion

Snake or dragon always without knees

Devil In Her Heart

Devil in her Heart …… by Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

If the Beatles didn’t cover the Donays (a young girl-group out of Hamtramck, Michigan) one-hit-wonder ‘Devil In His Heart’ that was originally released in 1962, this song most likely would have faded into complete obscurity.  The Donays released this song on the local Detroit label Correct-Tone Records, but many of the small American record companies were affiliated with major labels that had distribution in the UK.  Correct-Tone Records had an affiliation with a larger label from New York, Brent Records, who picked up the record for national distribution.  Its flip-side, ‘Bad Boy’ (not the Larry Williams’ song with the same name), did get airplay in the Michigan area, although the single missed the US charts.  This single was picked up by the UK label Oriole Records and was released there.

The Donays were made up of school friends Janice Guinn, her sister Armie Guinn, Yvonne Singleton (Yvonne Vernee), Michelle Ray and…
