Best Deathfire Poems


Her Dream

As crystallized ice melts away
And fire breaks the morning
She lies in bed dreaming

What started out as breath taking
Now turns for the worse
And steams her mind

Her breathing, shallow
Her eyes, sunken
Her face, fading

And then, it closes in
There’s nowhere to go
There’s no escape

It’s coming for her
She screams for help
No one answers, she’s alone

Vines entangle her
Thorns bite her flesh
Fear grips her heart

Through the tangle of forest plants
She pushes harder 
Trying to escape

She’s trapped by a wall
In desperation she claws at the wall
Breaking fingernails and flesh

She tries climbing, too steep
She wants to turn and disappear 
It’s too late, there’s no escape

It’s behind her, it’s here
Choking her every movement
She stops resisting

And…

As the crystallized ice melted away
And the fire broke the morning,
She lay in bed dreaming

Hell Damnation

I killed two men but I never tried to get forgiveness from the Lord.
When I died, I soon learned that Heaven was not my reward.
I'm in Hell and the fire is burning my skin.
This is a predicament that I got myself in.
This agonizing pain is too much for me to take.
I'm here in Hell because I made some big mistakes.
This fire is way hotter than any fire on Earth.
I should've realized what life in Heaven would've been worth.
The flames are six feet high, I feel like I'm going to be consumed.
Please don't live your life the way I did or you too will be doomed.
