Rejoice In Hell

I killed the man that done me wrong And watched until his life was gone With my heart I cast a spell I wished his soul descend to hell My revenge it was complete As his life’s blood washed the street I thought my demons laid to rest But something burned in my breast In broken sleep a vision came Of open hole with melting flame A black clad figure called me near I obeyed though cold with fear ‘Come and see your enemy pay’ The voice compelled I did obey There in molten rock and fire Tortured souls could not expire The tongues of flame licked their flesh As past misdeeds they did enmesh My screaming victim I then did see But his tortured screams came from me And when his features I did trace It was my own that I did face This woeful being with evil leer Caught my hand and pulled me near ‘Welcome to hell’ his voice did crack As the Devil gave a fearsome laugh I felt the heat upon my skin As to the fire I was drawn in ‘No escape’ I heard the voice ‘For ever burn let us rejoice’

Eamon, I have heard people with near-death experiences say that we relive every pain we caused others. The story told through your amazing poem has quite a ring of truth for me. Let's make a pact to wish good things for others and treat them with kindness so we won't experience this kind of torment. Outstanding entry for the contest! Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn
