Sins of a demon

Desiree Brown 1990 (Alberta)



Sins of a demon
Like a dead piano, the silence creeps in.
Creeped by silence hides his sin.
A room as cold as the darkness in his eyes.
Black as if all demons cry.
A look of fear on his tan face,
Left only tear drops of blood to trace.
Out comes the demons silver knife,
Soon blackness shows no sign of life.
