does the devil know love?  
chased from heaven above  
he's no stranger to its mechanism

but a selfless devotion  
requiring no potion  
like a rainbow adoring its prism

does a shadowless blight  
eschew daylight for night  
to avoid seeing or being seen

or a thunderous cloud  
air obnoxious and loud  
strike a lightning to smite the obscene

this I ponder, and more  
as I lie here -- adore  
your sweet rose, though it's so full of thorns

does the devil know love?  
all that he's dreaming of  
let's have at it, but do mind the horns
