 Finding The Flood - Poems by Jeremy Joel

Dearest Demons



Here sits a pathetic man
Gracious host for infestations
Angels forbidden
And truth to their accusations
Welcome back old friends
Dearest demons
This is my life now
Purified and decent
Speak not with your tongue for the family is sleeping
Children's innocence is poisonous
Simple minds are demeaning


You're charming during chores
When crawling skin can't be ignored
When silence can't be silent anymore
Demonic allure is fleeting solitude
Lonely words like weapons that I possessed
Talented poet when I was depressed
Tapping of keys is the numbing of flesh


Invisibility reappears
Alcoholic admissions
What breaking point drives a family to tears?
When will this cancer go into remission?
Satan's memories I'm burning
Sadistic encircling
You are the prey of priests and nuns
Gabriel's melodies I'm learning
Holistic yearning
Spill your glasses with another's blood


Dearest demons
A belated farewell
I'm building the steps to my spiral stairwell
Pathetic men bury hatchets
Bitter legacies
Closets and cupboards whisper blasphemy
