Mellifluous Murmurs

The Devil Led Me Here

I begin here; 

my milestone is placed on this very verge,

 I smile a smile so dear.

I look back at my past and I cry

it was that time 

where I lacked charisma,

and inhaled creativity–

I thought it wasn't enough,

for I had thoughts

of when I would surrender down and die.

I grab my guitar 

and give it some life with a few strums

but a pardox enhances 

as it contradicts;

 my heart has definitely mastered the beat of the drums.

Brazen; 

that's what I ought to be–

I wanted 

every insular mentality to vanish

from the face 

of this Earth

by the power

of shamelessness.

The devil

led me here

because he knew

 I could handle the worst,

I was a poet.

Lucky for him,

he was crisped

into ashes 

with every breath 

that he inhaled.

Lucky for me,

I was glad

that the devil led

me to the place

where I knew 

I'd find you.
