Why suffer needlessly?
Starve no longer, share my bread;
My coat, my fire, my bed with me.

Temptation in each word infused;
With luxuries so grand;
What could he lose should he refuse?
And so he took her hand.

Addicted but ungratified;
Tomorrow hell awake;
Unfilled, unwarmed, unsatisfied;
Unable to escape.

Tonight he sleeps in falsehoods;
Cloaked in quilts of dread;
His belly full of promises;
In the devils bed. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 54 [topic] => 31 [informant] => softerware [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Something sad and sinister, yet how it is, a place I/'/ve been before, not that I wanted to, but that I also had no reason not to. Some good can still come from that though. That/'/s actually how I stumbled upon the best relationship I have ever had!

But the latter part of it... "in the devil/'/s bed" makes one wonder just what is so devilish about her. Perhaps a interpersonal Hansel and Gretel, where she seeks to nurture a dependence, and his soul will be hers- or maybe, that/'/s a spookily true way to look at courtship?
Hah, the possibilities!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
