feast of all souls

A heavy weight
Black shadows
Upon the shoulders
Halloween night
Passover of souls
Lead heavy
As wings fall
Expelled from
The garden
That of Eden
Bent down
In grief
I cried
love lived

My burning passion
Shattered to
be saved
Broken grows stronger
Like a fireworks
Lighting up
The sky

On my knees
I fell
without mercy
As the cobra
Danced around truth
Biting emotions
To the ground
Drove straight
Into the dark side
Of a dream
Boiling nightmares
Sewing hell
Into the deep

A distorted face
Clouds vision
No longer
Do I see
Beautiful colours
Instead of petals
Your thorns
Rip the heart
Black turns
The rose and dies

Growing two horns
Boiling stew
Seething hot pain
To begin roasting
Pushing to
the deepest
Tormenting in hell
Hissing spitting out
A poisonous
stew of words

A forked tongue
The deceiver
Crawling under
The skin
Coiling serpent
Without truth
Burning lies
Twists then turns

Destroyer of dreams
Nightmares burns
A circle
Drawn with
a poisonous tongue
Within hell
Dancing moths
In silver shadows
Reality one
see's light
it saved my soul
this very night

With my Catholic background I have pondered what hell would be like. It seems that we do a pretty good job here on earth creating conditions that are pretty darn close to hell. I know that to be with a good woman is heaven and that losing that or desiring someone who you can't get can also be pretty hellish. devil jackolantern
