Naïve Boy and the Devil’s Kiss

A haunting Gothic painting of two young men in a dim stone chamber; one with dark hair and a sinister gaze touches the other’s chest tenderly as candlelight glows between them, with moonlight filtering through a cracked arched window behind.

Have you ever mistaken the devil’s touch for love?

Beautiful
lies turned me inside out;
I always believed life would be fair.

Naïve boy
lured by his honey words;
I turned the devil toward my soul.

Lustful fool
blinded by his beauty;
I always believed he would be there.

—H, still burning from the sweetness of his lies
