Dancing with the Devil
As he Blesses his Queen
I played with the demons
Let them spin me round
As we danced and sang in the rain
Felt the goosebumps assault my flesh
I’ve got an appetite for destruction
What’s underneath?
Where no one can hear a sound
Whispers in the dark
Calling out my name
Shadows wrapped in glorious darkness
I step through their arms
Letting each Shadow Demon guide
There’s power singing through my blood
There’s desire sizzling in their rotten eyes
Unafraid
This is where my throne has lingered
The crown waiting to be placed on my head
Dirt and secrets riddle the ground
A sweet caress
The demon’s hand rests against my face
While his body burns me alive
No one can take what’s rightfully mine
“Yes, my Queen,”
There’s power in his words
A blessing against my brow
As his lips replace the words
Something snaps within
I’ll rise
I’m unstoppable
I feel the darkness pulsating around me
The devil’s smirk radiating from within the shadows
His stare bruises my skin
His beauty shatters my soul
He’s a breath to behold
The Demons scatter as the Devil prowls
“All the power you seek,”
I feel the tremble in the air
“Is lingering within,”
His lips brush the back of my neck
I feel my eyes close
“My Queen.” He whispers
Desire floods me
“Do you fear me?”
He’s absolutely divine
His strength embracing as he wraps his arm around my waist
“Where you end, my King,”
I leaned against his body
“Is where I will begin.”
I yearned, I ached
My body shifted,
My heart raced as my body pressed firmly against his
Those emerald sparks burned life and fire within me
And for a moment,
I desired to know what his lips might feel like against mine.
My left arm stretched out
Our fingers intertwined
His left hand brushed against my hip.
I smiled
Like a rhythmic weapon
I forced by body to turn and twist,
Forced his feet to move
I burned at the sound of his banter
I needed to dance with him
I needed to dominate
“You’ll never control me,” my voice betrayed my desires
His smile blossoms
“I don’t want to control you,”
I feel short of breath
“I plan to release you, my vengeance.”
Light floods the space
I grip his body
Waiting to be betrayed
Darkness was a living breathing rush of heat beneath my feet
The reds of the skies above us darkened
He released my body,
Stepped and stood beside me,
His right hand elevated my left
As he presented me before his thralldom
Behind the masses
Rising like a mountain behind the demon spawns
Rested the black thrones
Like cathedrals, blackened and brushed in red attributes
Every demon bows
Heavy is the crown
“Claim your Throne,”
Red eyes stare back at me
I refuse to look at my King
“Do not be afraid.” He instructs.
His safety,
His soft actions betray the beast within
Raising my hand to his lips,
I feel my eyes close slowly again.
I feel the rush of power cascade over every inch of me
Breaking the skin
I’ll dance to his game
Even as I take control
Vengeance is borne

This quite a story written in verse. Good job.
I love how you balance seduction and defiance throughout the poem. It reads like a struggle between surrender and self-empowerment.
