Dean, are you the one who wrote to me saying that you read the Bible several times a day. Am I wrong? Are you the one who believes in Christ, and that He died for our sins? Are you the one who said that with prayer on our side, He will see us through?
Believe me, I am not high and mighty, but am a Christian. If I lived in your world of demons and all that belongs to them, I woud write the same as you, but I wouldn't be able to sleep, and probably be very confused. The further from God, the closer to the devil. I ask that you speak to God about this, and listen for an answer. Your poetry is exceptional, but at this point in your writing, I think you have to choose. What do you want to write about? Good or evil, darkness or light, God or the devil? Can't you see how the devil is trying to pull you away. Okay, I can say more but I won't. I just want you to think about what I said. I'm really no one you should be concerned about, only one who knows what you really believe, and that you are confused. Please just ask, and you will receive. God bless. . .Sharon

Wow, Dean. This crazy muse of yours is a little creepy--no wonder you write as much and as fast as you can. Your pictures enhance the feeling of the wicked muse and its unrelenting presence. Excellent abab rhymes. The cadence flows very smoothly. I can almost hear the hissing creature as he leers over your shoulder. Brrrr....

Hi Dean. Here I am at almost midnight reading this scary poem. Thankfully, I think I'm tired enough to sleep. Hopefully without nightmares.
Your muse has a scary, creepy side. Your vivid imagery is truly dark. I'll read it a second time because I like to do that but...not until tomorrow.
Thankfully I always have a nightlight on. Maybe I'm learning to enjoy creepy. Now that's even a scary thought!
I must have been saving my last six for you.
Sweet dreams...hahahah

What a rotten stinker he is! It's tough when your muse is such a pest and not letting you sleep. At least he enabled you to compose this poem. You did a great job of putting this together. Nice work.

Dear Dean - You keep scaring the hell out of me!!! Why I am reading this close to midnight on a Saturday I haven't the foggiest.Pitiful social life - actually no, unpacking boxes after I moved. I'm going to have nightmares now - Instead of counting sheep I'm skipping forward to counting Firefighters.
Really this is what your muse is, I'm fascinated -truly. I would be scared out of my wits and too afraid to sleep.
But you do bring out the loaded gun on imagery and emotional hits of dark emotion, fear itself and where it takes us.
Last six to you - enjoy:)
Thanks for sharing - well not really - but you know why.LOL
I may sleep with the light on.

Hi, Dean - not that you have to sign your pieces any more...
Since the muse is an imaginary creature, I guss s/he can take any form - yours is a nasty bastard by the sound of it.
With or without his advice you've come up with an interesting and smoothly flowing piece.

Dean, given that you seem to be on line twenty four hours a day, I'd say that you do have a relentless muse that must get in your head. With the amount of horror you write (and expertly may I add, with a very big touch of humour, may I add), there is nothing too feminine and prissy happening in your head. (Take your hanging cowboy supernatural story which I voted for by the way, as an example). But, you should keep him, as you reain one of the most diverse and interesting writers on the site. This is another great littl epoem with more of that sensationally macabre artwork to give it class.
PS: The comment about your time spent on the site, is born in my own obsession, which seems to coincide with your presence no matter when I open up.

I'll leave that up to you followed by maniacal laughter. I know the feeling. Sounds like you are going to have one of those nights. So plug in the coffee pot and roll with it. That last stanza is a killer.

I am glad that I don't have a muse like yours. Yikes. Mine is more like an insistent child tugging at my shirt. Great write about the love/hate relationship with your muse. I enjoyed this little insight to what is behind your poetry hah, Cheers Judester

Your poem is diabolically sweet...whoa.
But those eyes and smile you chose remind me of a dream I had when I was 19.
It went like this: I was on a rotisserie , helpless to its rotation. I was shown a dark deep blackness. Then those red eyes appeared...then the smile...slowly they appeared and disappeared when I was flipped over to see....
light, and sounds of heaven...and flipped to see, once again that face, that blackness
I swear that dream lasted all night (i know studies suggest dreams actually last for mere seconds)
But that dream I will never forget.
Your poem took me back...whoa
