"Inferno" Tribute, part 1

Paraphenalia

of silent destruction

leaning over

taking me in.

Greasy streaks

of ebony line

the corridor, delineated

under a

saffron sky.

Doors haphazardly juxtaposed

flaunting both rhyme and reason

offering only opportunities

to obliterate

the senses.

In one room

I happened to see

seduction ever most

vile.

A corpulent woman

donned in cards,

else naked

head to toe,

gyrated about

unnaturally,

her face a grotesque

mask.

The sign above

to all decried,

"The fabulous

Lady Luck".

Her victim,

entranced by those movements,

offered to her all he had,

but once his possessions

became hers,

she ended with him her session.

In a panic,

I do recall,

an act so bold,

so irrational.

From his hand

he did separate

with the greatest of might

his every finger from its joint.

Thus the shapely succubus

refocused on him,

hand drowning in crimson runnels,

to take what she felt was hers.

Could I not stay for more

for from behind me, a prodding came on

darker, darker into the abyss

travelling onwards, my weary soul.

About this poem:
I know that Dante starts out with a description of the first few layers, but I wanted to take a message of hell in a different fashion and skip the back story to make this a bit more allegorical.

Loss

The pearl of my life,the road to my new beginning..
The holder of my heart!
You were my angel on high..
The entity which showed me a new path!
Gave me something the world could nt! Love beyond anything else!!
But i failed in my duty to her!
A failure to my life as a whole !
She left for a reason,
which now i do know!
The tears call out her name,
the soul her want!!
The heart,her warmth!

All i can do now,is to wait and crave!
Hoping for her to return...
For only i do know her worth and her loss!!
I know deep within,i love her beyond this world of man,
this meaningless place!
The god of man would only know my loss and pain!
None other!
Darling , i will wait for you ,cause you are my only source of happiness,love,comfort..Dont leave .. Never!! A humble request from a broken soul....

Death Call

The star that shown so bright,
The little heavenly dew drop that made others path’s bright,
Will finally fade into darkness.
Before his hour clock began,
Its already running out.
Never to shine no more, never to bring a smile to those who he loved.
Never to descend again and protect,
Never to guide along the road of life.

As the sands run out,
He cant help but think, will I be remembered?
Be remembered for all the good I did?
For all the lives I’ve changed?
For all the sacrifices made?
Will I be remembered?
O will I just be hated for my few mistakes?

I start to fall apart.
My body weakens.
As I draw my final breath.
For all the love I gave, for all the nights I stood by them,
Will they love me? Once I’m no more?
He feels his spirit drain,
The cold embraces him tightly.
One last look down at his precious angel….
And he knew, that he would atleast be remembered by her..
And for in her, his whole world lay…
But now her life begins. Without the little star to guide and protect her.
never more to awake, to the words ,you are my world and I love you.

This was his death call….his final journey had begun.
And slowly he just faded into the night.
Never to shine no more……

Gone forever

GONE FOREVER ARE THE MEMORIES OF HAPPINESS,
GONE FOREVER IS THE ONE I LOVED!!!
FAR AWAY,
GONE TO A PLACE I CAN'T REACH HER.....

I CRY OUT FOR HER TOUCH OR WHISPER,
BUT,NOTHING HAPPEN'S,
ALL THAT HAPPEN'S IS,THAT I FEEL A COOL BREEZE ACROSS MY FACE...
IS SHE REALLY GONE TO A PLACE BEYOND THE SUN SET,
WHERE MY WORD'S CAN'T REACH HER,
THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING....
FINALLY COME TO REALISE THAT ,
I CANNOT EXPECT A REPLY,
FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE.........

THE SWEET ROSE,
WHO USED TO MAKE EVERY DAY FRAGRANT,
WILL NEVER SPREAD HAPPINESS EVER AGAIN.....
LIKE EVERY THING HAS TO PASS ON,
SHE ALSO DID,BUT WAY IN ADVANCE,
ALMOST TOO SOON
FOR OUR LIKING!!!

NOW ALL THAT REMAIN'S
IS NOTHING BUT THE PICTURES HANGING ON A FAR WALL....
ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS TO LOOK AND IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT LOSS,
A LIFE FILLED WITH HAPPINESS,
A LIFE WITHOUT ANY TURMOIL OR SORROW...

BUT LET US NOT FRET,
CAUSE SHE HAS GONE TO A PLACE FAR BEYOND,
WHERE SHE WILL NEVER FEEL PAIN,
SHE WILL BE HAPPY IM SURE!!!

SO I ARRIVE AT THIS CONCLUSION,
LET ME GO ON ,TILL IT IS TIME TO MEET HER AGAIN,
IN THE LAND BEYOND THE SUNRISE.............

Flash

My heart thumps and i feel my end is near!
My life flashes before my eyes,
like a mirror to my reflection!
I've lost everything..
My mind, my soul,even my heart!

I was at fault,for her loss,
And to me ,i'll never forgive myself for that!
My soul is caving in ,
I have no where to run..
But to hold onto the cherished memories,
Which as well is under... its self destruction!

My bane my sorrow,
for me to carry ..
For none but me was responsible !
My loss might be, but a mere nothing to others !
To me ,a part of my being has split away,
and smashed into fragments !
That cant be put together again !

My life my path
and this is my burden
to carry till death !

a dreamer

He was a dreamer,
who dreamt of taking off one day.
He longed for love,
but he just got his heart crushed!
He was his own saviour,
He was his own rival.
He loved to trust,
but he bled well for that!
He walked his own road sweet nd comforting,
as it was felt by him and none other!

He had desires,wants and visions..
Which all needed fulfillment..
But every time he reached for the stars above,
He always stumbled far back to the earth!
He was not like any other,
he was unique and beyond logical reasoning!
He dreamed and desired things not of this world!
Not of man--not of god!
His tears were shared alone,
And his second face was the one the world saw of him!
Like the phoenix he was never seen to shed a tear!
But only the earth would know,
The cold pearls that fell from heaven above..
He tried to live his dream,but fell short!
He finally lay down to rest,
For another earthly sleep, awaiting yet another tomorrow.

And for when he awoke,
He could fly!
Far beyond the sunset,
Far beyond the misery,
He was invincible!Truly!
He couldn't be broken any more,
For he was sewed together,
With divine ropes which were bound from EREBUS!
All his dreams became his reality,
All his crazy disillusions were no more,
Because he was living it all with the fullness of his heart!
And finally he found out,
In his heart and soul,
that he would be appreciated...
Even if it was an invisible applause ..........he heard far away!

More than enough

we can never say
why somethings happen a certain way
we don't know why when there's a storm
the sky turns grey


so many young hearts stop beating
makes my soul twist and turn
because of so much bleeding


I try to focus
but get lost in the thoughs
of so many innocent humanity we lost


can't we do anything to stop it
can't we close the disaster faucet?
why can't we be superman
and turn back time
the future of young isn't to rot under land


I wish all young
would have a long life
for their hearts to reach hights
not to leave for heaven yet
because they still have so many goals waiting in the light


so many steps to take
so many dreams set


we wish we could have given more love
showed we are glad they were alive
because of the one above


but it's too late
I don't know why the good die young
only God knows how come


why do some people want to die
or hate their life!?
Why would you hate a gift from jesus christ!?


People say they apreciate every breath,
but they only truly value it
when someone meets death.


tears will slid
as caskets close
but we'll see and hug them again
it's not the end
because we're like a rose
God plants us and as the dice of our life gets rolled
different waters of life makes us grow


everyone has their time
don't take it for granted
enjoy life don't let anger inside you fire
don't worry about when you expire.

tears and depression, are rotting vile,
so when you think of those angels
know you love them and smile.


For the young who have spread their wings
with their halo,
I hear them sing
sing the truth behind life's theme
the topic,
the plot,
it's just to be happy with what you got.


look at the sun
the moon
the sky,
the sparkle in the eyes of those you love...
that's more than enough.

Endless

Endless waters
over endless rocks

So scared that I may die today

What better place to die today

Below mountain tops to mourn for me

In waters clear for me to see

the sky that blankets everything

and clouds that dance
to whistling winds

Unchained Courage Free At Last

Chained and shackled as if one was a wild beast
The young lady stood in her barefeet
Looking up at the man who sentence her and chose her fate.
Like the sand blowing in a dust storm.
Like an angry sea rushing to the shore.
She had stood here one time before.
Broke free to run some more.
Eyes cast down but not from shame.
Tears flowing but not from fear.
She had no one to blame.
She did what had to be done.
Angry words that were thrown about
She tried to leave but there was no way out.
She searched in vain.
Reached a point of physical pain.
Decided to put an end to this.
Aimed her gun and did not miss.
She refused to explain to the man up high.
He would have to decide on his own.
If her reasons set her free.
Or if she to was doomed to die.

Marie Therese

‘Marie Therese’


Memories linger of this time and place.
When distraught, lost to reality
My daughter I knew, no time,
Never to kiss.

All alone, in this desert, her and I
Devoid of life,
So tiny to my eye.
Resting peacefully cupped in hand,
Eye’s closed, with little smile
On her journey to another land.

Helpless father, emotions shattered,
My only daughter, now my little angel,
Not much time to nurse you,
When nothing else mattered.

This little white box resting on my lap,
A tiny rose for comfort,
Her smiling face, just taking a nap.

My tears, like raindrops from a pending shower,
Do stroll and meander,
Fall and rest on my own little flower.

By this tiny grave, with prayer, in sombre mood,
What would have been I thought,
Lost love and hope, so misunderstood.

News of births since, toy with memory,
But always with my spirit I hear you sing,
Amidst the angels,
Watching over your brothers….Kiefer and Cory.
