______________________
Dancing across dawns colorless face
Clad in red shawl and slippers gold
She recalled her fall from grace
When she met a man so bold
He grinned and kissed her pale white hand
In meadow by the firelight
His sharp blue eyes were a surprise
On one so swarthy and so dark
He pulled her close as they danced
Heat did rise in smoky arc
Innocence didn’t stand a chance
In the devil’s hungry arms
She failed to see his evil heart
Willingly she gave up her charms
To lay within his warm embrace
He promised her undying love
Her tender rose he sought to taste
In dark of night they were wed
She wept for all that she had lost
And when she woke the devil said
You danced with the devil now pay the cost
For now you are my lawful wife
She fell upon her bended knees
He laughed a hollow hateful sound
As she begged for him to set her free
She snatched up a broom and spun around
I’ll not mend or cook for thee
But torment you with unending talk,
Hardboiled frogs and bitter tea
He rocked back in dismayed shock
His bride had turned into a crone
To make his life a living hell
Unless he set her free to roam
Of his deeds she would surely tell
Warn fair maids away from bonfires bright
Burning in mid summer night

Satan is so subtle. Never appears as we might imagine. He's generally far better looking. An enchanting tale.

You my friend are a modern day minstrel.
I love the flow of this poem.You rank right up there with Gower and Chaucer.That was beautiful.
