I've always thought it was an interesting dichotomy that Lucifer is supposed to be the Prince of Lies, and yet he requires you to sign your soul over in a contract. Contracts are typically used to keep people honest, so if he's a liar, why bother? So I took the idea and played with it a bit.
I've been sitting on this piece for a long time now. It never felt finished, and what I had done didn't feel right. I kept waiting for that big burst of inspiration that would lead me to fixing and finishing it. Needless to say, the creative burst never occurred. I dug this out the other day and made a few changes to it though, and I doubt sitting on it for another four months or so will make any difference. I'm still not satisfied at all, but this is about as finished as this piece is ever going to get, so I may as well post it now.

It's good and certainly an interesting concept that makes sense. What you've got here is definitely good without a doubt but it does feel a bit lacking; I'm just not sure what it is that isn't there. I'd say Lucifer gets a pretty hard time of things considering that most of the time he appears to be more honest than the Heavenly folk. Sure he's a bit devious, may choose his wording carefully, leave out a few things but at the end of the day the guy tells the truth and lays it down in text for you to find it...sorta like a lawyer I guess, except I'm not sure which is more likely to actually lie or twist the truth further...
Yeah, I know something is missing, I just can't for the life of me figure out what. I've been trying to figure it out for months, but I finally gave up and cobbled together and refined what I had. Otherwise I'd never finish it, haha. Glad you think it still turned out well though.
Indeed. I think Lucifer is a much more philosophically interesting character than most of the others. I suppose that's why he turns up in fiction and poetry so much more than any of the others.

Well, the thing about Lucifer is that he's nowhere near as flat a character and his very existence is a paradox of sorts (if Heaven is so perfect how could an angel ever go corrupt/evil/whatever, become a fallen angel, etc?). The fact that he's very much open to interpretation, has had many different names/titles and even been depicted in quite a few alternate ways probably also has something to do with it.
Indeed. It's too bad that such an interesting character as Lucifer so often gets diminished and swept under the rug by absolutists who can't be bothered to even think in philosophical terms, let alone question their belief system. It all depends on which version of the story one gets, I suppose.
Glad you enjoyed it.
