Do You Live With Your Demons?
Do you find an angel tapping your shoulder?
Reminding you of what is right or wrong?
Does the angel ever explain to you why you are strong?
Or cheerlead you through the nights when they are long?
Does the angel whisper sweet fantasies of the flesh?
Or give you visions of how she will undress?
Why does the angel remind me of the bad and not the good?
When I'm getting aroused by a beautiful woman
As any man would?
Do you find ways to feel better in a time of stress?
That's not the angel talking, but the winds blowing from the West.
Caressing your shoulders in a time of need
The demon is healing your internal bleed
Showing you experiences and adventure of the mind
Because when it's all done it's only you, you will find.
When the demon brings out the part you want to show
Giving you the courage to discover and know
Its more than just biting the fruit to discover others can be viewed
Its the demon helping reveal yourself to stand strong in the nude
A demon does not give false hopes or expectations
They are in your corner for your earthly damnation

My angel and demon are always bickering, just wish I could get them to shut the hell up and allow me some peace of mind. It's pretty much an inferno in a one room apartment. Excellent work DP.

"Do you find a demon tapping on your shoulder?" No, but there was this math professor that once did. He told me that I couldn't understand radicals because I didn't believe in Jesus, and then he started telling the class his story about "Moses" and went all two by two on us. But what's in a name... :) Mathematics was said to be the work of the devil; Calculating Al-Ghazali Bastard.
We all have trouble and sorrow... This just makes us human, but we shouldn't become victims. I go where the light bends. Light travels without sound. There is no material there except on the other side of reality within the light itself; a photon, and you’ll have to be awful tiny to hide there. It is the closest place that I've found to true peacefulness; understanding the laws of the Physics and the nature of light. Energy > motion > time > space > creation > movable forms of language
In Old English, "angle" means bend, or a narrow place. "In Angeln, there is a very narrow arm of the sea known as the Schlei, thus the Angles may be the people who live beside the narrow water."
It all brings back memory. Angels & Angles, and your perspective. When you look at something different, then you see something different. And there are flaws, but no demons beyond man. Instead, I have a pink hello kitty calculator that converts radicals. Sorry I went on and on, but I really enjoyed reading that and this is where it took me. :)

Math and Jesus? Thats original. I have not heard that one before. I understand math has been related to metaphysics and Cabalistic philosophy, but some of it is coincidental, some of it seems legit. But its purely subjective experience and should be assumed as objective reality.
I like your relationships of Angle and Angel. Reminds me of "Air" and "Spirit" where the French "esprit" means "spirit" but also means "wind" or "air". Which is where the French "Le Fou" or "The Fool" means "bag of wind" or "wind bag" to suggest his fleeting thoughts or words that have no grounding, but only momentary.

Thank you for saying that's original cause I think that I thought of it and have been working on the explanation for some time, a few years actually, that's why when he said that I really got kick out of it.
Another perspective: Just for fun.
If the tree of knowledge came the devil -- knowledge given by the apple bitten, then the shoe fits. The story about the math teacher happened last year in Algebra II and so that‘s a personal. (I have some really dumb stories about life in college. In short, clams don’t have feet but I found my foot in my mouth quite a bit while I was dissecting it)
Its interesting and so I thought of this: I refer to physics as god because the principles of physics are at work throughout all nature all the time. Mathematics is the language of physics as it can be sprawled out onto a piece of paper, such as the motions of the planets rendering endless distance into light years and parsecs. Mathematics can parse through patterns dissecting geometrics woven throughout the tapestries of life and measure it. And so in conclusion, if Physics is god then math is Jesus and Jesus is the sure way to heaven just as math is exact to physics. (recurring nightmares about calculus going on here) I don’t like math so I just go straight to the top. I don’t know how that happens, but its true nonetheless in the understanding the nature of universe. Please dear god, no more fucking math. I don’t feel bad though. There are engineers and great mathematicians that do not understand laws of physics seen through this perspective. When they go hand in hand it’s a match made in heaven, and then you’re a physicist. Please forgive me for going on and on, I’m only Philosophy major that minors in creative writing. Physics gives an awesome perspective and I love it. If the shoe fits, that’s physics.

Consider this:
If God is spelled YHVH in Hebrew. And we convert letters to numbers. Then we have 10+5+6+5=26. If we take the perfect cube. We have 8 points. 12 lines. And 6 planes. Then 6+8+12=26. Further. If we insert the Hebrew letter Sh smack in the middle of YHVH, then we get YHShVH. The Hebraic name of Jesus. Some say this signifies that Jesus was the son of God and thus a manifestation of God in material form. Yet the letter Sh is equivalent to 300. So we get 326. What does it mean? I don't know! Just fun with numbers. But they do describe nature. But are not natural.
In my estimation. Jesus is A way, not THE way. But I see your point. Physics is nature (God). The thing doing the thing. Jesus is the thing that speaks about the thing, but not the doing of the thing until it ignores that he is Jesus and just does his thing . (Thing 1 and 2?).

at the very least during my life my guardian angel
has came from out of the blue and saved my life
on two different occasion I firmly believe this...
now as for the demons all my life I have been
dealing with these fuckers also...they are a part
of our life also...or mine I have came to watch
closely for traps and trips they can get one or me
into...and then not many people has been around
as much as me or seen what all I have experienced.

Laughing is like a small nirvana. Until finally you get the cosmic joke.
