he feeds his demons well
alone in the dark
preparing for war
says he craves peace
but finds battles in
every encounter
warring the world
a world he created
black upon black
alone in the dark
he feeds his demons well

Good! I assume "he" is Satan.
And the food (IMO) is PRIDE!
wow. didn't see that coming. didn't have satan in mind...but can ABSOLUTELY see the interpretation.
love it when something I write gets turned on its head and lets me look at it in a different light.
thanks for stopping in steve.
Much appreciated.
Today, this can have so many interpretations. We all have our demons, wishing peace for us all.
and less food for the demons.
amen Mrs. Mediocrity
To feed our demons is to continue being alone in the darkness and warring the world around us ~ Thank you for sharing this ~
Karen - love the lines ..warring the world, a world he created' this is so true about so many people, isn't it? K
it's hard to watch when it's someone you love deeply. only thing to do when you're on the outside looking in is to be an anchor and a light.
good poem, karen. i like this story, a little shadow-world you've created. you've always been a good storyteller
been forever since you've been in to leave a footprint in my space ray. hiya.

Well done!
I try not to do this. Such a nasty habit, but I was very good at it for a long time.
for some -- it's like dropping a needle in a groove. but the groove looks the size of everest after a while. hard to scale, and a slippery slope.
thanks for stopping in john.
thanks Matt. nice to see you out and about.

A bit (more) dark, but I like it. You have a great way of leaving things up for interpretation - what I love about (your) poetry!
this bloomed from a #fivewords posting on twitter, estrella.
