a lament for Lucifer
i weep as the darkness departs
left lingering on the edge
of the light
not quite illuminated
i don't speak its language
& my dark tongue is now foreign to me
Lucifer & his demons
spoke for me for so long
that i forgot my own name
they entertained
me & others
with vistas of Hades
only the fallen can truly appreciate
told me black truths
not known to most mortals
a hole is left in me
as they slowly quiet
& i am left with my own thoughts
they are fantastical
i mundane
this is a lover's lament
for a love that blazed
now cooled over
what was their fascination with me
& why did they leave?
i felt special in their care
supernatural lady
with the power of the air
possession isn't as portrayed
on television
it's not heads spinning around
vomiting green stuff
it's a grooming of a soul
to be more than they are alone
it's watching their back
when no one else cares
heaven may be my destination
but hell was my home

Great write but the last line breaks my heart. I hope that is truly not the case.

Brenda.. i feel the depth, and questions you pose in this ink.. is their life after? what seemed so natural and comforting.. i don't know the answers, but i know you'll be fine.. whether you believe it or not, you're the strongest woman i've ever met.. because you keep searching, and don't always take things to be absolute.. only a brave soul goes against the grain.. to find beauty, and inner peace.. love you my sister..

This is a kickass piece of writing, my sweet friend. You have a piece of the "other" side that I used to wallow in. You are on a quest to figure it all out. Luck!

But isn't that the truth? That a fire to keep its flame needs more of the same to keep alive. If things change, it will suffocate and cool down or be snuffed. Relationships need to be cooled, but keeping the embers going. If its too hot it will bring other elements into it to envelope. Too cold it will die.
I enjoyed this ink. It was thought provoking for me. The language of light is distinct from the dark. But are of the same materials.

Lucifer was a handsome angel with long blonde hair
when he tempted Eloa, the good angel, Crim;
strange how there's always beauty in the darkness...

My Beautiful Brenda, it is in your last stanza where you somewhat answer your initial question...what was their fascination with you? Perhaps it is because you have the ability to carry both so strongly within you...the light as well as the dark...accepting it and never fighting whichever chooses to speak to you, something they were unable to do...that in itself shows but how much strength you have...
I love you deeply, madly
With all my love - Taryn xoxo
