Black. That is my realm.
And dark as any midnight.
I stand upon my dark ship's helm,
And wish for nothing bright.
For twas brightness that cast me down,
Into this most unholy lair,
And my Lord smiled, did not frown,
As I was left without a care.
Am I so vile, so unfit,
For a piece of Heaven as it is?
Am I sinner for coveting that,
Which humans take for granted?
Oh and here I mock myself in irony,
For tis irony to be,
The brightest angel of them all,
Oh yes, twas a Seraph who did fall.
And bitterly I resign that I,
Am destined to my lone existence.
Humans murder, rape, and bleed,
Others in a sense of glee,
And yet, I, merely wanting something of my own,
Am damned, black, and cold.
Oh, there is no justice in,
This lawless apathy,
For whether it is true or not,
If He call't sin, then sin it be.
You despise me and my wicked ways,
You mortals, how I'll make you pay,
For you despise me but curse His name,
And I'll delight in diverting my bitterness to thee.
I was the bearer of the light,
Now the prince of dark!
I loved so much it twas a sin,
So now I am the faith of sinners!
But, hate me not when you don't know,
Me as I truly am,
I take your blackened souls, tis true,
But it was Him who made me what I am.
And here I sit,
A king upon a jester's throne,
Watching with cold eyes,
A world I'll never know.

Description:
But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?” ~ Mark Twain
This poem is inspired by the above quote and neutral to my beliefs, it's merely a poem, and I would hope you would approach it with that same neutrality. Writing is not always pleasing, but don't make it foul by corrupting it with views the author themself withheld. - Date: 11/16/2009

- I noticed something Witchy . . . Your first two stanzas have a rhyming scheme and yet that scheme gets thrown away right after that. I can understand if it's free verse, it's awesome as free verse, but those first two stanzas are rather misleading and threw me off a bit.

- You know, when I stumbled upon this in the forums, it triggered my thoughts. For whoever is reading this, I warn you. Lucifer is sly and evil to me. To some of you, he is the best thing that has happened since microwave burritos. Still, even if we are divided by invisible ties, we can break them easily. How we break them determines our fate.
