Sending letters to the devil

Sending letters to the devil by bottlemail,  
cork secured forcefully thirteen times (for luck).      
We've been conferring by waves of blazing air,      
discussing our plans for the potential.    
 
He floats over blistering oceans on    
anaemic clouds tinted timid.      
Loosely gripping the reins as galactic      
atmospheres acquiesce in his favour.      
Greeting my qualms with a      
smile heaved eyebrow-high.      
Hieroglyphics guard our      
conversation from prying eyes,      
intricate yet elegant: refined.      
     
My devil secures his      
ashen tie with one hand,      
straightening his suit with the other.      
I agree to meet him on the      
aquatic bed at first light.      
I keep to my word,      
like the blue to the sky.      
Before the sun has wholly risen,      
I have already accepted the gift.      
     
Sat cross-legged underneath      
prevailing tides of combustion,      
I slide the tie around my neck.      
Tipping my head back;      
the flames laugh with me.
