Inferno

Groundhog day within the fires of hell!

Inferno

The only thing to break the silence

are my thoughts.

Drifting across Arctic floes

and steaming magma

as anger and sadness mix

in a heady intoxicating

brew of madness.

There they set

in tablets of stone

too heavy to cast.

They weigh me down

so that I cannot,

will not,

move on.

And in their fatal pull

I drown in a sea

of salty tears

that now runs as dry

as all the arid deserts

of planet earth.

And so,

into Dante's inferno

I fall,

to be just another lackey

in Satan's command

as he has me chained

and bound

to this rage of tears.

"I drown in a sea of salty tears"

good one John, the perfect end to an imperfect life, living the sins committed over and over again into eternity, why not? Let them wallow in their sin because it will swallow them, of course before i get to angry and slam them in the fires of hell I should say there is always salvation from sin even after death, they just have to look up, guess that's why they call it seeing the light :)

Thank you as always for your support Richard.

sounds a little like purgatory ,love can be a powerful force in despair

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed it can WM. Many thanks.

Inferno and time with the devil. Sounds like the weather we are having. Always. I often question if in the end reincarnation is actually the result of "Hell on Earth". So if you fail, you have to come back and start over. A long chance for redemption. Nice write.

Thank you as always Willard. I value your willingness to contemplate.

[Willard Wells]

My willingness to contemplate has more to do with the inability of my brain to shut the f$#%% up. And face to face my mouth does the same thing. I was asked once how I could write so much and my response was, "Haven't you heart me Talk". Thanks,
