I've known Lucifer for many years. Sometimes it seems like an eternity.
He is often very bitter. Not necessarily though. Some days he's just walking on sunshine.
While he is generally quite subtle, he can also be quite tasteless.
Sometimes he is very prickly, like cactus. Other times he is a fun-guy to be with.
He can be be a real pill.
Sometimes he hides under my bed. If I go out with him I may choose to keep him under my hat.
But once he gets under your skin, you can't get him out of your head.
His wisdom can fill many a sheet of foolscap, but at the same time he's a dip.
He has been in full view for about 2% of my entire life so far, counted in hours, and I'm over fifty years old. That's a lot of sleepless nights folks !
You don't necessarily want to meet him. You get butterflies, and sometimes when he first appears it's enough to make you want to throw up. Strangely, he's generally more likeable once you have.
I've met him in the forest, and in the city, and alone in my room, and played music with him hundreds of times. Sometimes he even joins me and my lover in bed. He likes attending parties, but often leaves everyone speechless. Despite being an incorrigible prankster, he's totally genuine. He knows everything about me, and has no compunction about telling me the stuff I try to avoid. In fact that is what makes him so lovable.
For all the trouble he causes, life would be very shallow without him.
Ladies and gentlemen, fill your glasses ! To Lucifer !
