Best Infernal Poems
RING RING...Hello IRS ...
What's your take on a dependant child?
My boys 40, ain't worked in a while!
I got 8 more kids inside da house,
the boys bride and my second spouse.
First ran off with a traveling man,
Raising her kids best I can,
Calling to ask if this is true?
Lost my job!... Can I.O.U.?

Love wrapped itself around my heart with a chain not meant to be broken. That was the way it was supposed to be, for I had no intention of ever choosing to break free. In marriage we were yoked by sentiments that once were real, but were lost somewhere along the way. Through fate or destiny, there is no release from love's infernal dance. My heart was left without a clue, wondering why things went wrong, and so it laments in songs of misery.
singing forlorn blues
emotions, falling as tears
refrains from my heart
No cries for mercy will ever set my heart free from knotted ropes of memories. I'm tethered in arrested custody; a caged bird, a lonesome dove whose cheeks are salted from rivers wept. Lost is the key to open the lock that would unshackle me. I've lifted the veil, my Wizard of Oz curtain, by writing about my heartache in lyrical sonnets. Yet, I still travel down the yellow brick road...alone, searching for a way to bring my heart back home.
just drifting along
seeking a haven of calm
for my heart to mend

The Infernal Serpent
coiled ’round the soul of man
strangles the love and understanding
imbued by the Creator
supplanting it with hatred and distrust.
The result

The mickey mouse instructions were many,
Trying to figure tax to the penny.
From the very beginning,
My clueless head was spinning.
'Twas as readable as Kazakstani!

Infernal Racket
Trump turned out to be nocturnal;
Every time he would use the urinal
He appeared to have blushed
Each time toilet was found flushed
Could not stop racket which was infernal.

When spring comes to an end it's time for summer to begin.
June, July and August are the months that are the hottest.
Shinning like a diamond in the sky the sun hangs so very high.
Heat waves ascend as summer begins like Dante's infernal it seems never to end.
Dancing on seashores during the day are the sun's glistening rays.
Spontaneous showers do rain down cooling off the parched scorched ground.
Hurricanes bring wind, rain and thunder creating havoc and all that plunder.
Lazy days of summer give one's mind the chance to wonder.
Fluffy white clouds float in the sky letting imaginations take off and fly.
Ocean's, glittering is the spray blowing off the cresting waves.
Lighting bugs do fly against the background of a starry sky.
When the heat of summer ends it is time for fall's winds to blow again.

Infernal Urinal
It started running in middle
of the night for a short time
for no particular reason.
There is something about my urinal
That is known to be infernal
Saw a colonel sitting on my pot
About problem mouth off shot
About kidneys which are internal.

Frigidness forces blood through these veins.
Age old affliction shadows us, producing pain.
Thoughts penetrating the darkness and night
Relishing their fear the only desire and delight
Voraciousness eternally the maladies' truth
Fatefully when turned each maintained its youth.
Necessity forces us to sleep before breaking dawn.
Wandering forever we scour for every new pawn.
Understanding Heaven will never be our haven.
Living while dead forever monstrosity's sin
Prayers unanswered hell genuinely our plight
Purposefully chasing termination to our fight
Reality tossed aside romancing every reaction.
Justifying our very existence the true affliction

All heaven struggled, good and evil clash;
Lucifer's crowd was cast to earth in shame.
Babel's plot to reach heaven, mere slapdash;
God upset language; words became a game.
In His hometown, Jesus bound His powers;
miracles in Nazareth were blocked out.
Were their skeptics so different from ours?
God clouds the ears of those who dare to doubt.
Sovereign insight is way beyond man's light.
Facing death on a cross, no small bother;
repentance from sin brings life eternal.
Christ's vision requires infinite foresight -
mankind united with God, the Father.
Existence sans God is life infernal.

Infernal heat
To suffer yes infernal heat,
To burn the fork out of your trouser seat,
submerged in loves tales of deceit,
when tender-loin arouses,
to burn with fires taste of lust,
to strap it down to stop its thrust,
to feel like it might surely bust,
unless the flame she douses,
to pander to this manly urge,
to feel the blood the rising, surge,
could be my fetal fatal final dirge,
from coming, passion flowers…

There was a raven haired baby
Small for his age and rarely cried
looking out with weak eyes
hoping someone will love me...
A mama not commited to being a mom
Young for her age of sixteen
Wild oats not yet sown
spaced out on dope most of the time...
Thinks if I just put my hand on his mouth...
Never is too late to help

hell's goal is to heal
shall we evolve and swap now~
shun hell afterward
do each of those who
wish the worst for other kin~
they, too, deserve hell
paradise on earth
guess someone else's hellhole~
shield it to yourself
