When Demons Awake
When Demons Awake
My soul has seen the depths of hell
For I have sailed the seven seas of blood
Immortality tortured beyond consciousness
The tears of man begin to flood...
Cataclysmic imagery within the serpent’s eyes
Colossal death a warning to the wise
Shunned from love and happiness
Embracing sorrow with a bittersweet caress
Holocaustic means that man provides
Satisfying needs then subsides
Demonic Destruction building the wasteland
From dust to ashes nothing shall stand
The demons awake from their fiery hell's
With teeth of the Hydra and pernicious smells
The eternities open the doors of time
For a moment their rays of darkness shine
But woe to thee that sleeps within
With running rage and compounding sin
That only Love can save your soul
And thus return you demons to your hellish hole.

This poem was written in my early twenties...and was the catalyst for my poetic prison lol...then I left poetry alone for some years...writing sporadically here and there...until the soup a few years ago...the rest, as they say, is history...
