Best Underworld Poems

tonight I sleep and dream
Deepest wishes fulfilled
if wishes solved problems
My world would be different

it has been four long years 
Since you left this world
You like a rose
Blooms on the other side

I dream into the shadow realm 
In the world of Orpheus
The dream of the living
To...

I felt her Gothic breath 
It's warmth breathing
Upon my body; her touch
Igniting these senses..
In flames her lips tracing 
Burning kisses this conviction
Of my want; black velvet blue skies....

Sijo-5

          one day accidentally, I stepped into the way which 
          laying in the gruesome air that leads to the netherworld

With the seriousness of D flat Major
And a purpose hideously grim
My ritual of despair and darkness
Is about to mercilessly begin
The shedding of innocent blood
As I summon a screaming soul
Moans like the organs of Dracul
Rehearsing a satanic goal

The mist, the fog, the moon
Comingle in an unholy...

Stripping and peeling,
exposing what lies beneath-
Double-dealing underworld....

Under the world of the rich
Below the higher class
Lurk the poor, and the gloomy
Ones who live in the past

Enjoying every moment
Any might be their last
Yet looked down upon

By this higher class
They feel as though
They are discarded trash
Only the poor
Can make joyful moments forever last
They lurk...

The Underworld 

There is a path
that leads to the bridge. 
Well, not exactly. 
It leads under it. 
Why would anyone want to go that way? 
You might ask that question. 
I might dare to answer, 
but it will be
only what I know of... 
so far....

Enigma of the ocean
Enigma of the world
Like a magnetic potion
It pierces through the soul

With eyes so dark and gloomy
That penetrate through the heart
It ripples in periphery
And catches in the dark

Illuminating rip tides
The wind swirls on the plane
Refusing all resistance
It glitters like a flame

The cliffs that...

A victim of the streets

She's one of the homeless,

A victim of society

She left the broken home,

Try as they may there was no fixing it,

Her parents deciding, to go their own ways,

She turned to drugs and drink

And lost control,

They said was nothing they could do, now...

There are leaders who talk about all kinds of improvement,
but mostly, that's just diversion.
Who really knows what they're after.
On the other hand, one of the most common things
they want is power and promotion.
I think an accurate way to describe how they really gain power
in the...

Proteus beneath our wheels,
shapeshifting God of the Underworld hungers,
longing for music as laughter,
stars that sparkle in young eyes.
He takes what Hebe gifts, 
lacking such grace Himself.
Wheels pass:
Proteus sleeps, 
sated until the next passing,
waking with a song to feed again....

Styx
by Michael R. Burch
 
Black waters, deep and dark and still: 
all men have passed this way, or will.

NOTE: According to ancient Greek mythology, the Styx was the River of Death. The dead would pay Charon, the ferryman of Hades, a fare to carry them...

I have lost faith love and respect for the institutions
We should have the grit to face our negative image
I am saddened by what is happening today
Why do agencies support elite class mafia?
I am extremely disappointed by intelligence
What they are doing is condemnable
I have lost faith...
