Save

Another oldie in honor of the season ;) I could not include a photo of this unwilling subject...not that it would have mattered, for each time it has revealed itself its taken a different form....Tis the season :)
A warning to all bards and poets And artists of all kinds The muse that gives you vision May be a demon in disguise An idle thought its open door No invite does it need To manifest inside your soul And spread its evil seed This demon does have many eyes It watches and it waits It may seem quite harmless Until you become its prey It works itself into your mind Then you begin the change And plunge into the darkness So beautiful and strange But the beauty, it is fleeting As your flesh is torn and burned Your soul provides the nourishment As the Dark Son reaches birth Heed these words, be wary Of the muses in your lives For the wisest have been fooled... By this demon in disguise Copyright �2004 Edwin Dante Larson

'Your soul privides the nourishment
As the Dark Son reaches birth'

Bravo Edwin, eerie and thought awakening poem to make one look over one's shoulder to see what the muse is up to. Worthy of Poe himself.

Edwin ...

You are on a roll with this series. This one, I believe was your best. Good rhythmn, and flow, and another really creepy message.

The first strophe set a goose-pimply gripping mood.

Good job ...
