“Dancing With The Devil”

All my life I chased the freedom. I left behind all faith In God.
I was hungry for a different Kingdom, with a different kind of Lord.
I was falling deep within the chaos and did not want to return.
Bruised and scarred, but never concurred I stood fearlessly while being burned.
***
We both have sinned, lied, destroyed and cheated.
We laughed at fate and played with fire.
We stomped on hearts without shame and reason.
We burned the pages of our youth and ran on broken glass, undefeated.
***
One glance, one dance, one kiss, then Silence…
Who are you? Why now? Why me?
We knew the answer, we knew each others same scent of violence.
You and Me and the Devil makes three…
***
Both defeated, both are punished.
We are losing balance, our minds and freedom.
Our fear, pain, anger and bruises, all have vanished.
We have finally found our very own Garden of Eden.
***
I no longer need the freedom. I no longer need a name.
I no longer search for Kingdom and no longer feel the shame.
I don’t need to choose religion, I don’t need to play that game.
Now we only have the hunger and each other as our prey.
***
I surrendered to our chaos, to the color of our souls.
I no longer need the poison, I no longer laugh at fate.
I’m forever lost inside Inferno, there, I found myself and youth.
***
Have you ever danced with Devil?
Have you ever fallen through?
***
I have….
There,
I found myself…
In You.

thought provoking brings my own life to focus….
Interesting arrangment that is provacative.
Nicely stated.
Love!
I have always felt Eve was blamed disproportionately. The sin was of equal share, since Adam ate the apple, even if it was just a bite and even though “Eve made him do it.” This poem does justice.
Evocative, atmospheric… the chaos, the sinewy dance…
The devil, the devil. Who the hell is the devil?
Sure, he’s not ugly, he’s not lame, he’s a delightful charming man.
He and I had great discussions and his arguments were pleasing,
never did he disagree with my dark desires that were increasing.
Only virtues did he fight, with sweet falsehoods and lies,
Fool! You got now what you wanted. Now you have to pay the price.
So, I’ve learned he’s always cheating, only falsehoods he will tell.
Devil, devil, you great liar. Devil, devil go to HELL.
Beautiful indeed. And haunting. Please drop by the Old Timer Chronicle for a cup of coffee. Spiritually speaking…
beautiful words.
Mmm… Bailando con el Diablo – ¿Cómo está la música… y la tierra bajo sus pies.

Reblogged this on themortarandpestlelife and commented:
my jaw is ajar, but i do not speak for i am stunned into an absolute silence. i feel as if i am listening to myself, the very words are so exacting that it is so strange to hear them carried out by someone else’s voice. and as i watch, it is even as if i am looking at myself, we are so similar.
As usual you write a hauntingly poignant piece. I wish you peace along with your freedom. You will never have to say that you missed out on free adventure – and it doesn’t hurt to be so beautiful!
Your photo with this post says it all…! Excellent!
Very inspired post 🙂 loved reading it!
Perfect…I just hope I wasn’t the Devil at one time or another….
I have run with the devil, throwing caution and my faith to the wind! I have the scars and the pains to show from it. I am not sure about remorse, yet I have found my faith again. Only this time it is tailored to me and my God!
Fascinating you are… fascinating indeed!
Just re-read your blog description — the don’t forget to breathe line is just right!
I left my religion behind too. One size does not fit all. Freedom remains illusive, something seen from afar like an oasis in the desert. Maybe I’ll reach it tomorrow.
“You and Me and the Devil makes Three…” a timeless line for sure…
As my faith was never found in the sky, then so my salvation my must come here on Earth…I know for certain any dance with you would ignite my soul in heavenly ways…
Keep shinning my shooting star !

I particularly like the stanza, ‘I no longer need the freedom to I don’t need to play that game.’ The last two lines say it all .. I found myself in you! Thought-provoking Elena!
Thanks for sharing. Nice post.
Yes we are all a little crazy…creative spirits can’t help but be so. And sharing your pain can be so cathartic. Thanks for sharing and I hope you find your peace, Elena. Best to you.
A very touching blog. I’ve got no words left to say…
beautifull…
Metaphorically speaking I have. At least my own ‘demons’ anyway. Luckily not more than that.
The rebel is definitely understandable. I think to call it devil or evil is a little rough on reality. Rebelling against control is NORMAL. A VERY NORMAL REACTION.
beautiful post.
Beautiful! Thank you.
As so often is the case…a thought provoking post.
