The Devil At Midday Poem by Rani Turton
The Devil At Midday
Restlessness, when the sun is high
Directly in the midst of the sky
Melancholy, walk beside me for a while
The hours will pass on by and by.
The sun hypnotises the eyes
The brain spins like a planet out of control
Vain cosmic causes and plans
Sucked into an agonising black hole
When the brain is on fire
But the skin is clammy cold
When thoughts run riot and the body is calm
The devil walks and slowly takes hold

When thoughts run riot and the body is calm The devil walks and slowly takes hold And take us to the death from misery untold..............Good Write............
I agree with Kale's first line (not sure that I follow the rest of what he says) . Very effectively expressed. In line 4, do you perhaps mean 'pass on by and by'? Just a thought.
Subtle, dark, short and to the point... Walking with the devil can be confusing to many; simply surrender yourself and let the overwhelming power of the universe take you to a place where nothing else matters. Let the 'devil' take control of an otherwise struggling existence.
