Kavitha Krishnamurthy - Angel and devil

An assortment of the angel and the devil
A sphinx with the head of the a human
Body of a monster and wings of an eagle
The wings signifies the cherub’s power
The body symbolizes the malevolent evil
The head embodies the human spirit
Wedged between the good and the bad
The human spirit takes both forms
Sometimes the angel takes the supremacy
The human becomes compassionate and selfless
We get a glimpse of the godliness
Sometimes the devil has the full clout
The latent monster slowly comes out
Narcissistic and spiteful face is shown
The wings of the angel heave us to the heaven
The body of the monster shoves us to the hell
Lodged completely, the soul fights back
With great determination one of the powers win
And it becomes the person’s identity

Kavitha Krishnamurthy
