The Demoness

Out she came
From the pitless hole
Breathing fire and
Wrecking soul
She caught a mortal
Ripped his throat
Bled him dry
Like a bleating goat

She laughed at the fear in his eyes
And licked her lips in a greedy sneer
She lulled him in with her taming lies
And seduced to give in to his fear

And then she danced
In his mortal pyre
Her bosom commanding
A reign of fire
But all her ugliness
Could not hide the smear
Of that single roll
Of blistering tear

And yet she makes the earth go round
She bathes the world in a hum profound
The angry sprint of a seductress agile
A demon in form and angel in smile

Who could have thought
Such a thing exist
Foul and vile
In the ugliest mist
She tempts even
The finest soul
To cut out his heart
In her feeding bowl

And yet the world sings her praise
Her charms create a surreal maze
He who loathes , falls in her hand
Love is her name, as fickle as sand.
