Eyes open in the dead of night
Another nightmare pulls him from his slumber
A frigid sweat coats his skin
It is not the dream that causes this
It is the murmurs in his ear
The voice of a demon
Demanding his blood
Crying for the vicious acts of Hell
Stray from the path of righteousness
Come to the darkness
Where you belong
Its wicked and it is wrong
This is the path for him
Listen to his voice
Heed his requests
Hell on Earth
Where nothing is alright
Where the cries of the motals can be heard for miles
Agony and torture bring a smile to his lips
Losing his sight of what is right
Listening to his voice
So sweet in his ear
The whispers from Mephistopheles
Bringing forth the perfect world
Author notes
The devil's voice is sweet to hear. ~ Stephen King

Sinful
I loved this work. My favorite part would have to be the line
"Where the crys of the motals can be heard for miles
Agony and torture bring a smile to his lips"
but just so you know "crys" should be "cries". But either way, however it's spelled, you have written an amazing piece of work. Thankyou for entering and god luck in the contest
