The Devil Wears Clothes of Silk and Gold

Ari Mikkelson

12th Grade

Poem

2022-2023 Winter

She wraps around her finger your soul

Too late it is to fight

The devil wears clothes of silk and gold

 

Her rose hair shines bright as she beholds her new goal

Your body stills below her might

She wraps around her finger your soul

 

You find yourself falling into that hole

A trap she laid to ignite

The devil wears clothes of silk and gold

 

Once a maiden you had found down below

Her body cast in the moon's light

She wraps around her finger your soul

 

And the warnings above ignored, she now has control

Of your heart so pure and bright

The devil wears clothes of silk and gold

 

Your life she had stole

Never again to reunite

She wraps her finger around your soul

The devil wears clothes of silk and gold
