SATAN IN MY SOUL: award winner

SATAN IN MY SOUL



It is in my fate to see
Dreams of terror each night.
Shaking, trembling, drenched in sweat,
I wake up dazed in fright.

The hand I see in my dreams
Shows up just from nowhere.
Its fingers drip blood and write
On a wall that is bare.

The message written is clear:
Satan demands my soul;
If I don’t give unto Him,
It would devour me whole.

I see this dream every night.
I dread going to bed.
I can’t bear that on my soul,
That of Satan be fed.
