Liam Mcdaid Poet Free verse

Pathway Out of Hell

crackling within the core
deeply burning
penetrating agony
torturing hell
pulsating burns
letting loose
in a broken heart

blinding weakness
hatred falling
inflicting torture
hounds of hell
howling unmercifully 
draining love
jeweled tears
of emotion
begin counting steps 
slowly downwards

a black abyss
within the pits
screaming darkness
dying love burns
in thunderbolts of fire
pleading insanity
piercing pain
hot pokers
penetrating deeply
crying for mercy
in monster aches

a cyclops
one way vision
ghosts polluting light
vowing never to return
as demons 
are emptied
unto this earth
walking among'st
the dead

two headed beast
serpent of hate
begins fighting one war
one of love
the other hate
within this heart
standing at 
the crossroads
light feeding love
hands towards Heaven

the snake twists
then turns
lying in the fork
face of truth triumphs
power to love
strength within emotion
rebuilding trust

forgiving the past
each step purifying 
a golden pathway
to love again
i see light
coloring feelings
the sun smiling 
surviving one nightmare
