Poem Title:
Poem
I once heard and had myself a taste The emptiness of hell is as vast as space I entered the vortex trying to find How to drive the demons from my mind Like a snake I learned to shed my skin Found the door to my soul and crawled on in It was as hollow as hollow can be Full of pain, despair and agony Like an Eagle gliding upon the wind I traveled back through my own sin Through the darkness I could barely see Twisted souls crying out to me For but a second I thought of a funny thing My soul is like a novel by Stephen King Just when I thought I could take no more At the end of my soul I found a door With all of the courage that I could find I opened the door and entered my mind The door vanished and with no place to hide I faced the horrors I found on the other side As I entered my mind I was able to see The demons on other side of my reality They were evil little twisted runts Like a thousand army ants on the hunt They had talons, fangs and eyes like a cave That reflected how darkness was all they crave They had stingers they used like electronic sutures As they were connecting my past directly to my future With all the love in my heart and soul Battling them became my only goal At the end of the battle all bloody and sore I came upon another door I opened the door knowing I would die But found myself at the back of my eye All was suddenly clear to see Like a movie playing in-front of me At the bottom of my flask with eyes insane The devil was blowing a clear blue flame As he blew the flame the bubbles started to roll Releasing the ghost into my soul The smoke rose and then condensed Into acidic demons that ate through the fence Ate through the fence and entered my mind Connecting my past and future to keep me blind The purple smoke that escaped rose to a throne And formed the purple genie who welcomed me home Then a metamorphous occurred before my eyes And the genie transformed into the "father of lies" I could see in his eyes and his evil grin He felt that I belonged to him In that revelation it occurred to me I ask of the Lord to "set me free" I could taste the salt as I formed in a tear Which ended my journey and all of my fear As soon as that tear fell from my eye What had been lost in the night was blue as the sky It’s taken me years to write this rhyme About one second I spent in my mind A second that is clear to see Released my soul for eternity
