Step into the circle
and dance with the Devil
in the song that never ends.
Let him take your pain away,
think of nothing more than this moment
and dance.
Come dance with him in the circle
and forget all your troubles
they won't matter anymore.
He just asks for that simple price
I'm sure that you already know.
Come dance with the devil darling
he'll take all your woes away.
Swing in the circle
to the beat that never ends.
Once you take that step
and enter the dance with the Devil
you'll never leave it again.
Sell your soul
and dance that eternal dance
Dance with the Devil
to music's soft embrace.
Sing along with the song that never ends
and just give your soul away.
Nothing shall matter anymore
as you dance with the Devil tonight.

Dream On
A dream can be
a passing thought;
a passionate ambition.
A dream can be
a battle fought;
a superficial mission.
A dream can be
a driving force;
a forgiving comfort.
A dream can be
a thriving source;
a deceitful consort.
A dream can thrill you;
drive you or kill you.
Beware of this, dreamers—
and Dream On.

"I wish you would give it back to me."
"Why? You'll just break it again."
"It's my heart. I will do whatever the hell I want with it."
"Yeah? Well, you take terrible care of things that are yours."
"Fine. Keep it. I am equal parts concrete and soul anyway."
"You say that, but I'm not entirely sure that you are. I think you're deep, and fragile and broken, and that makes you beautiful."
"Again, concrete and soul. "
"I wish you wouldn't make this so hard."
"So hard? I'm making this easy. You gave me dreams of half feathered swans and a stupid house on an endless beach and a city made of an ocean, and now you're taking it all away. But a

Memory
Memory is like the tide,
It swells and ebbs;
It's free and wide,
Yet ridden with dregs.
At times it's calm—
Soothing and sweet;
Like a tender balm,
A gentle beat.

Coarse and bitter;
Like a vicious coup,
A cruel winter.
In it, I do bask,
Adrift in my mind;
I need only ask
To be lost in time.

Overall Vision
Originality Technique ImpactUnusual in the way it utilizes structure and the way it alludes to the Devil, Dance with the Devil by The-Golden-Sunrise stands on another dimension all on its own.
A curious pattern of narrative is developed from the very first sentence. The seemingly instructive words and the blend of prose into simple sentences makes the poem flow easily.
The structure looks, at first glance, completely random, but it is soon evident that the smaller stanzas are merely part of the commentary by the writer, whose wry voice and sardonic humor only adds to the entertainment of the piece.
If there is only one thing you take away from this poem, let it be this: that an allusion to the Devil never, ever gets old.
