Notes About The Poem

- Hell Is Open -

An inferno of thoughts and chaos
            No one sees that the smile does not reach the eyes
            A fortress built by betrayal
            When the words are pronounced,
            they can no longer be withdrawn
            A devilish and poisonous voice sings to me
            the influence of the words is decisive
            Impossible to fight this dark force
            In his presence
            a putrefaction, stench, fire and dark smoke
            A glimpse into hell - is a fact

Only if we pass over our integral choice often By lazyness or by curiosity we venture to Where we are at risk, There can be hereditary Causes, that place people close to that Influence yet we can turn away if we Know of Jesus.'

Makes me shiver. A devilish description of such an evil abode. Your words are kindred to a warning to us all. Best of luck in the macabre contest Anne-lise

An excellent thought provoking write so true, a glimpse a into hell is a fact, but I reel back and retract my steps in fact run away as far away from this as I can. I know I have come across the devil in a nightmare whilst in hospital I woke up screaming, woke up all the ward who were grumpy and two nurses who told me in kind words to shut up . I can defy the devil I feel strong enough to do so but in a nightmare I felt vulnerable . Deep feelings my friend take care hugs and love jenny

- I think many people read the title ... and move on ... "hell" is not something we talk about ... but "hell" is mentioned many times in the Bible - Thanks for the great comment, Las :) - hugs
