Hellish Poems

Premium MemberThis Wholesome Hellish World

A place, a planet, a particle in the Universe,
This is where I was born, but oh I know
Things can often sometimes become worse
As I struggle every day and reap what I sow.

A place, a planet, nothing but a speck
And yet we are all left to suffer forever
In a neverending cycle even after we wreck
Forms that

Hell, a life. He feels like that
Yes. Pushed life. Very down

Growing up. The hellish one
Only. Now. Still. Want’s a life

His. Get back. God Law said
You are right. Right live a life

From Hell. He lost. Time well
Works Hell. A life. Getten on

Disturbed man. Love Europe
From. He. Yes. A pure health

Come from a strange culture
Just pure.

Hellish sleep

I think it's getting worse
The visions happen less
Now I don't dream but still
I feel it nonetheless
I feel impending doom
A danger I can't explain
A parabola of needles
A sense of helpless pain
I sit there non-existent
Or at least not of this plain
I try to cry but don't know how
To feel present, much less sane
I sit in utter silence
Longing

The Hellish Life

This is a beautiful and so mysterious and sinister world of being
Sinister, yes, it is that. Ominousness is a natural part of this life
Yes, it is normal. Fear is a happy feeling in our lives and the world

You aren’t alone here, but you live alone, with your demonic souls
This world has a so

Premium MemberHow far from earth are heaven and hell and other hellish verses?

How far from earth are heaven and hell?
And which way do you go to get there, pray tell?
Did God create a GPS for the soul?
Or did he give little devils or angels the role
to escort you to the place where for eternity you'll dwell?
It was so hot, my nose melted off my face.
It was so

A living hellish nightmare

A living hellish nightmare...

only just began early today 
November 6th, 2024,
when my eyes frightfully espied
glaring headlines bespoke horror
conjured, portended and yielded
worse fate than being gratefully dead
after the polls tallied up the votes
beaming none other than 
pudgy hugely crass blimp 
as the forty seventh president
of the United States of America.

Before delving into worse case scenario
regarding the

Vampire, Of Its Hellish Temper All But The Devil Was Afraid
(Part One)

Its dark powers were off the black wickedness charts
It ended thousands with its uncharted powers
Unworldly hungry, appetite for eating hearts
Risen from Satan's darken highest of towers.

Gallons and gallons blood, its every new meal
It seeks purely innocent to torture or drain
Anger, hatred emotions it happily

A Hellish Halloween Night

On this creepy Halloween night
I was mauled in a hellish fight
My bloody neck filled me with fright
A vampire's bite     A vampire's bite

Gruesome ghosts floated in midair
Their ghoulishness gave me a scare
Trembling with fear and words of swear
I cursed a pair    I cursed a pair

A full moon appeared in

Hellish Noise

For hellish
                noise,
               no need
               hell... enough

Premium MemberSlaverys Hellish Grip

An elderly black man with a head of grey hair,
Loyal to the farmland he worked but did not own,
In a time when law and justice’s scales were not fair,
Had been that way long before he was even born.

Never had a home or dwelling that he could own,
Didn’t have a bank account or savings to his

Sheltering in place
Not anyone’s idea of a great time; certainly not mine.
Spoke to a good friend yesterday.
She said she is morbidly depressed.
She had been positive and upbeat prior to this pandemic.

I kept my own dour thoughts secret, feeling like a hidden Eeyore.
She unloaded how horrible 2020 has been to her.
Her favorite cousin and awful brother

A Hellish Path To the Grave

The candle light never stopped burning for aeons ago,
A hushed rustle of applause testified to a widespread approbation,
That was on the day he was certificated in the University,
Indeed, he was a bookish arbiter of conduct; a balanced moral fibre.

Tony - born in a home of abject poverty, a pretty immiseration,
The wretched mother sold all she

Within Hellish Abyss, Sounds Serpent's Hiss,
Part Three

To avert from setting sun, transfixed gaze
 from such entrapments, wake I in a haze
Scenes of awe in pigments of reddish hues
 time there, centuries spent searching for clues!

Mesmerizing dance, prelude to Night's host
 appears apparition of Poe's pale ghost
Repetition set of true poet's heart
 ghoulish scenery cast forth

Within Hellish Abyss, Sounds Serpent's Hiss,
Part Two 

As Poe'sque verses come demons surround,
night hours break into loud hideous sounds.
With claws and long fangs thirsting for warm blood,
more beasts appear in a torrential flood.

Yet nothing can stop pen and its dark ink,
for deep in poetic dark, poet sinks.
In distant pits of hell, flames rise and roar,
as
