Liam Mcdaid Poet Free verse

Heaven Or Hell

Made my choice
I always wear 
the blessed Bennedict cross
scared of the Devil himself
for my soul protection

I saw the faces twisted in agony 
mouths open screaming arms out
pleading with love to be saved
inside a moving mass of pain in Hell

I walked in the burning darkness 
suffering pains a zombie for my sins 
a blind existence inside one shell
I had no one other than family 
to call upon as friends
 
Seeing suffering tortured souls 
what they done to me 
Trusted to easily 
used and stole from in my charity 

Born under the wolf moon 
always watching in the shadows
a mountain climber by birthright 
Howling into a cold loneliness one fight
with the heavens inside at war 

Brought to my knees in the all forgiving face 
of God cured of cancer one miracle 
I know destiny again 
coming out from arising sun
I bow humble and meek
I will be stronger for living 
knowing where to place my trust

Smiling always with friends
because I see now love
It is you who makes 
each and every single world go around

I walk now towards your light
forgiving my past
Ready to face this big bad world again
only now I am stronger seeing hope
always praying for you love
No redemption in Hell
it just keeps getting worse

Thomas Carney September 27, 2014 at 9:18 AM Wow, what a ride you took my on with this piece. I think there are some intricacies here you are more privy too, as I followed I trusted God's Grace was sufficient. Good effort liam. one verse this reminds me of "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 2:15) verse 16 is not bad either. Liam Mcdaid September 27, 2014 at 9:29 AM truly blew me away thomas wonderful comment loving the world is greed of possessions heartfelt appreciated thank you for your kindness
