DEVIL IN THE ROSE WINDOW
Updated: May 30, 2020
Devil in the Rose Window
the eyes are
what drag you in
fierce, barren
staring into your soul
with malicious intent
following your every breath
the smoldering cigarette
clouding the face
in a murky haze
eyes always searing through
flaming with desire
for what should only
be left for God
