Sinister scene of a dark September sight;
Hell's horrific harridan, heralding the night.
Tangled and twisted, like taut, twirled twine;
Set upon Satan's wicked, shameful, sordid shrine.

Interred in a musty cellar deep in the earth;
A questionable life, without...

Locked in seething twilight,
under canyons no one knows.
Chained to walls of murder,

Tearing flesh off of my bones,
is the only accepted answer. 

This sinister place...

This morning’s run began so benign and gentle,
Yet 15 minutes later deep feelings were unhinged,
Confused, I recalled my latest meals,
Whilst my insides were impinged.

God writhes within me,
A burning fire
A tripartite light.

How low I sank
I may not tell
But in the muddy
Fires of Hell
Is not my destination.

And dependent on a rejected lamp:
The worst so far in their camp …

Selecting peeping spots in a cemented floor,

Sink into a darkness so black and cold
As any description of Hell ever told,
And my soul seeks something more kind.
As the abyss deepens with each day,
My good memories come flooding...

do wrong with spiteful intent?

In A Dark, Dark Room

Tormented in a pitch black room--
Smelling the foulness in the ground;
Flickering shadows in the gloom

Tormented in a pitch black room,
