Poem -
Devil's Dance
Helter-skelter among the ruin
Gyrating under a serpent moon
Fires of brimstone ablaze
Atoning for ancient dead raised
Chanting a Bespelled cypher
A jester pays Satanβs piper
A maiden in great peril braves
Danced on the fallen graves
Befallen etched in stone
Decrees writ bard unknown
Alchemy a mighty toll
To harness a wayward soul
Balancing on the devilβs knife
Perchance to beget his wife
Henceforth no mercy showed
Journeying on a hellish road

You see...now you're just showing off!! It's a very unbecoming trait in a mild-mannered Minnesotan!!!
This poem reminds me ofΒ A Night on the Bare Mountain; you've possibly heardΒ Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestral version, though personally I prefer Mussorgsky's original piano rendering.
This has the same crescendo of chaos; a frenzy, a bacchanal, a pandemonium (in the original sense of the word).
Impressive!

maybe I am a reincarnated. I might have some Ireland blood in me somewhere from the past.... I hear people from Ireland have long roots spread throughout the world.
Well...if you do, there's a cream you can get that will clear it right up! You'll be back to normalΒ in no time!!
Joking aside, Lisa...this IS an impressive poem. And if I envy you anything, it's how easily and quickly writing seems to come to you. It's as though you have an inexhaustible well of images and ideas on which you can draw at any given moment.
Mo cheoil thu.Β [If you really DO have Irish blood in you...you'll instinctively know what that means!]

Hi Dear Lisa,
The sins of mankind, are music to the devil's ears. Β He now revels in a world where evil is rampant. Innocents being slaughtered in the name of a false god. Β Pureless pipers promulgate his persona. Β The wicked join him in the "Dance of the Seven Veils", as they vow to behead all the sacred souls of the sacrament.
Hugs, Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
