~~~~~~The Devil's Deconstruction~~~~~~

Through billowy black clouds

he emerged-

a silver shimmer in the side of my veiw...

my eyes askance, blinded by his simple beauty-

his crude features and tender eyes,

sanguine smile, and powerful physique---

o be still my racing heart...

voice reverberating telepathically

calling me...amazing me...

now how did he know my name?

And angels gathered to swathe him in thier wings;

gossamer silk fingers soothing his skin

as they beckoned me closer...

"Come, kiss, and let go"

Suspicious eyes...now slanted...

narrowed and leveled on his lips---

parted and inviting...enticing lips,

while the angles writhed and sung

sweet revivals of childhood memories...

hopes, dreams, and wishes for love

that I had whispered in prayers

and handed to stars...

and closer I did step-

his heat lured me maliciously

meticulously tickiling my skin

magnetically gravitating me into his orbit

til mere inches spaned between us---

then I was seized into his embrace

and smothered by his kiss...

damnable thief done stole my breath!-

and then....

then the ground shuddered

and the sky began to cry bitter acid tears

that consumed my flesh with each deadly kiss-

and the angels' wings burst into flames

and they fluttered into flight laughing like banshies...

oh devious demons...so unholy in thine quest!

He stood there balefully

eyes swimming in blood tears

while I cried and struggled to be free

cursing him in his mission to betray...

but steadfast he held me, calming my spasm,

and in the quietest voice he shouted...

"Just love me still...stay..."

Conflicted, I touched his melting face

and we merged---

past and future collided and forged,

melding and shaping our destiny...

I knew upon sight he would be the death of me...

but oh...what a way to die...

in this devil's arms

doing the death dance

while we erode and dissipate

converging together

to melt and the evaporate back into antimatter

and float amongst our sins the nitrous air---

forgiven

sanctified

forever....

loved.
