Unseeking Seeker Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

What Is Hell

our morbid desire
real cause why we suffer ~
Frankenstein takes birth

deluded beliefs
nurtured by our lower mind ~
manifests demons

let us introduce
ruler of the netherworld ~
goat head Baphomet

piquant dilemma
we create these fiendish forms ~
then bow down to them

life’s a lucid dream
we’re both dreamer and the dreamed ~
who then shall we blame

there’s no one else here
all that is, is light of Self ~
fear creates our hells

Valsa George March 27, 2023 at 9:44 PM Fear and uncontrolled desires create hell in us . Hell, I feel, is nothing outside, but within. Great Thoughts Seeker Friend. Congratulations on your great win ! Unseeking Seeker March 27, 2023 at 10:01 PM Indeed, we are living light. All manifestations are but thought, fear included. Happy these words resonate, dear Valsa
