I loved this, it leaves its reader in a thoughts for a pretty long time. Pleasure or a pain? Is there really a good answer? Awesome poem!

This is a beautifully penned poem about spirituality. In our lives, we all have times that are painful.I think your friend was wrong. Pleasure when it is a sin and you hurt others is wrong~Debbie

    You got it debbie and not only when you hurt others but yourself. Sin is personal and so is the judgement of it.

Well you certainly have a novel view of the devil and the devil's assistant! Pleasure or Pain? Hmmm ... let me think about that for a bit ... seems like a no brainer, yes? I like what you've left UNsaid!

This is quite the quirky little story, though I am sometimes thrown off by the change in rhythm. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading your devil's tale.

    I write with a bicpen...

    It was an experiment with the quatrain rhyme scheme I thought it worked a treat.

This is an insightful look at the wages of sin. You tell the story well with vivid imagery leading the way. Life is a balance of pleasure and pain. We will each bow down before our grave and pray. The black background and red letters make a compelling case. I enjoyed your writing. Curtis

The masochist pleaded, "Hurt me! Please Hurt me!" The sadist smiled and said, "No," This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

Interesting take on the entrance to hell. Well written and the question and answer between the two plays well. A great little twist at the end. I enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting poem. Quite dark yet much truth within it. Thus I quote this from the Nag Hammadi for you to think about; "What is good is not good and what is bad is not bad."

I gave this six for your truth and ending is right on. Sin lives differently within us all depending on ones interpretation of all things, especially 'Words'. God bless and keep up the great writing.
