Demon Slayer

Broke down feelings visit me
during the dark hours sometimes
Part of me knows something's not right

But when I think of you
I know the morning will return
bringing all that is new again

Like the dawn has a need
to be part of the day
you come to me with tenderness
intent on being there as a constant

Fixing me with a smile
the demons, foiled once more, retreat
to their dark and unwelcome lairs

they say that love conquers all. I do believe you have proved the point.
Your title drew me immediately
and I was not really surprised to learn that
the demons you spoke of, were self-inflicted.
We all have those feelings of "What if this is a dream?"
and upon waking, discover that all is as it should be.
I am going to make an assumption that your wife/life partner
is all that you require to assure you that all is well.

The three-line form is enough to give the detail
and the one four-line section is just enough
without a drop more, to give you a sense of relief.
Sometimes brevity is necessary to get the message across.

Nice work! ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Thanks Geez! Love has rescued me and screwed me over many times. Think I finally got it right.

Best

Michael Anthony
