Ignorant Bliss (Sonnet)

by Rusheena   Mar 26, 2013


Satan whispers sweet nothings in my ear.
Then, he guides my trembling hand towards peril.
He tells me all the lies I want to hear,
as he sits back and watches me stumble.

I try to escape, but I'm swallowed whole
by the abyss, as I'm gasping for air.
As I make a desperate plea for my soul,
Lucifer pulls me out of my despair.

I thank him kindly, giving him my life,
while I watch in wonder, as he woos me.
But our bargain ceases to heal my strife,
for his stipulations, I cannot see.

My delusion will be my undoing,
and out of God's mouth I will come spewing.

*This was for a weekly challenge; it's my first sonnet*

    Dear sister Rusheena, that was excellent! No forced rhymes, to me is was not a dark poem but a true picture of the world and those held captive by Satan! He does send strong delusion but in your poem we see a conviction of sin and a fear of God through the knowledge of his word from the Book of Revelation of those being neither "Hot" nor "Cold" in serving him. You are serving him through your poems! 10/10, I love this poem, it will be in my favorites. Brother Ken

    This somehow reminded me of the exorcist. i like how you showed your transition from innocent to possessed. dark indeed.
