In Love With The Devil

by Aaron   Aug 8, 2012


A red dress that was skin tight
heels blacker than the night
a beauty I had never seen
I swear I fell in love with the devil, tonight
reeling me in with her seductive lies
gazing into my soul with her ocean eyes
telling me of how I'd be her first
and how for a brown-skin she had a thirst;
her lips said lover
whilst her heart said other,
it was easy to see through her disguise
still I stayed, knowing my demise.

The way she led,
kisses on my neck, kisses on my head,
up the stairs and to her room
stumbling through the door
a lover and a luster, on the floor
my hands held her hips
as her neck met my lips...
after all was said and done
my love, she had won
said she'd be my wife
but walked straight out of my life-
not before she stole my heart and my soul
did it when she thought I fell asleep,
awake through the pain,
yet I made no peep.

Left a note on my chest
saying I was the the best
in my own category
different from the rest
stating that she wanted me,
but faithful she could not be,
on my own, without a soul or a heart,
alone, feeling un-whole and torn apart;
a red dress that was skin tight
heels blacker than the night
a beauty I had never seen-
I swear I fell in love with the devil, tonight.

    Dude, this has a touch of brilliance!

    I like the seductive imagery, the rhyming almost seems cheeky and flirtatious...

    I also liked that you portrayed the female as being the devil...
    Its usually the male that's branded evil in the one night stand relationship.
    As a spices we love, hate and use with discretion equally...
    Especially when it come to sex... Misleading lust for love and forever is just... Well, less than twenty-four hours.
    Enjoyable read :)

    I agree with PinkyPrincess on the cyclical structure, it was done very well. I love the intense feelings that this poem invokes both the sexualised lust and the growing knowledge of the reality of the situation. During the poem I felt trapped with the author, pulled in. A poem has to be really good for me to feel one with the authors emotions and thoughts. Well done.

    You have a love for your trademark right; brown skin? How adorable. Back to your piece, hhhmm! a catchy title I must say. A very captivating start, gets one engaged for eventual scenarios. You did a good job with your descriptions, one can get to know about this damsel 'devil'. Great effort with that and also ending the poem with your intro., gave it a good approach.

    Don't we all love to be inlove with badboy or girl at times. It just overwhelms and challenges your being to date such. It gives a different feel with the reality of it, though at times when lucky its not as bad as it is been regarded with them 'devils'. They're quiet good and harmless as per attitude.

    Good and different love poem. ..

    I really felt the intensity of the seduction of the woman you described in this poem. I like how it started, I could envision the woman straight away. And I like how you repeated the first couple of lines at the end. It was a great cyclical structure.

    The title was interesting, and I like the idea of falling in love with the devil, because we all make the mistake of falling for someone who isn't right for us sometimes. The topic reminded me of a poem I wrote.. I think it's called Monster.

    Great job!
