Short Hellfire Poems

Chaos severe hate
Terror reigns burning hellfire
And brimstone beckons

Urges to kill rises like oceans,
And burns within like hellfire.
Consuming then parting as fast as it came,
And leaving nothing but a void to fill....

A common man with bad intent
 can damage and do harm

But a genius with an evil heart
 —makes hellfire seem lukewarm

Alleluia

Somewhere

	between

	 	      hellfire	

			  	   and 			

						damnation

I sat
	thinking
		     
		    “God,

			       I miss the Alleluia’s.”

There I was in front of the questions,
They raped, tortured you,
Stolyour house,
Amd killed your son,
Now I'm a bit slow,
The answers were hellfire or for giveness,
I couldn't make up my mind until the last moment................

With wings of hellfire 
And a halo of ash
You shielded me from the night
Your eyes
Consumed universes
Your smile
Illuminated all the dark cities
I was enchanted
But you were a free spirit
And you'd never let happiness 
Be your cage....

LIGHT THE DARK POND

fingertips caress still waters
the moon
obscured by clouds
stars dim
the sun rises
glare binds our eyes

blood boils in hellfire
crows gather
teardrops are shed

speak to me of lies
tell me not
that with the night
so too has your love died...

It's a place where love is abound
and mutant cuddling can be found

Oversized flowers function as pods
to 'make more mutants' is given the nod

Nightcrawler took offense more than maybe
even as he was shown a stock full of babies

Oh the pairings flowed like a shower
at this sweet place known as the Bower...

Death my old friend, I welcome you like an old friend. 
Young at first now an old man, I open my home and heart and welcome you you in.
So you bony spirit with the hellfire eyes take my weary soul.

Guide my gently into good night, cross the dark water to the gate of Hade's home, as I take my place in the underworld and eternal rest....

To learn how to recite koine Greek
That I may drink from the life-giving creek

Finish reading the words of Plato
To grow my knowledge thereto

Give up eggs and milk
So I can fully wear the white silk

Travel this dark world of hellfire
That I may hear Christ’s silver lyre

Be better for aeons to see
So I can become a marble tree...

She made beauty a birthright, my Ilse.
Her rosy cheeks, rouge unneeded,
shadowed her dark eyes.

I was impressed by her,
depraved by her,
all at once humiliated for her.
A hunger lingered inside me,
craving her name.

Still my salvation was denied by time
and the fleeting hours turned me mad.
Her finitude, my hellfire.
My temptation....

Masquerading in a church full of dreams,
all parishioners in their pews

The preacher straightens his mask and starts,
a sermon old renewed 

Hellfire and brimstone come roaring out,
 words to torch and burn

His face staying hidden as the nightmare unfolds
—the congregation’s dreams left spurned

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)...

Carrie Nation and her cohorts stirred up all kinds of consternation,

   As they raided bars leaving a trail of broken glass across the nation!

      With hatchet and Bible in hand she preached hellfire and damnation!

         She deemed demon rum and those who drank it an abomination!

The dream
broken down in immature time
with puzzling notices;

Never I was negative
Positive is truth veins

They make enigmatic all loyalty
Their all fidelity to God as detestable scaffold

But it's true
I was never with their charlatan truth
where they inflamed a vindictive hellfire
for antagonism desire!

There's a lighthouse on Braddock Isle
I wish I could visit it once and a while

It borders the Celtic Sea and Atlantic Ocean
It must look so nice with the waves in motion

Beautiful Krakoan flowers thrive to the land
They must be beautiful to view again and again

At low tide the lighthouse is reachable by foot
If I had my camera I'd give it a permanent look...

Burn your wings; they're no use to you now
Cast down your halo; no more will you bow
Live life in the ground, not one in the sky
Carve truth in your arms, and let yourself die
Paradise scorned beats paradise lost
Annihilate your soul at whatever the cost
Rage against life, give not to Death all your fear
You may spurn god's gift; no Hellfire shall sear

Esperance, where kangaroos saunter beaches
and turquoise waters lie like a boomerang
snared beneath a lapis sky and snow-white sand.
Coral pink lakes scintillate in golden sun;
which late will shadow bronze ochre fossil spumes.
Red-legged silver seagulls "kwee-war" overhead;
in the distance, surfers ride the Cyclops waves; 
children take an ice cream down in Hellfire Bay....

There are wonders about the universe 
And there are wonders of the universe

There are joys in drinking good wine
And there are joys in thinking by the mind

There is happiness in getting your desires
And there is happiness in avoiding hellfire

There are lives of luxurious living 
And there are lives of material prisons

There is the meaning of your attentions 
And there is the meaning of your intentions...

Climate change

Humans are the problem
They´re the ones to blame
Because of them the world´s so solemn

They don´t fear anything,
They have no shame
Not even of the Almighty who turns everything

and they will greatly suffer for it
and bear the consequences
as soon as they die and the hellfire is lit

our beautiful earth has been destroyed
which is so upsetting
but please don´t worry it will be alright....

After the fireworks,
Doctor Doom and Captain America had a little chat.
It was at a desolate place,
And they chatted here and there for this and that.

Doom noted that they are both the faces
of their respective nations.
While cap reminisced 
about his long icy vacation.

Then there was talk about the Moon landing
and the significance of Mars
But more so about a better tomorrow
as they gazed upon the stars...

The glistening oil,
Beaming and sliding
Bodies in sweat and hard, hard body
Parts, into sexual, multiorgasmatic, release
Hellfire body, and fluids aboil
Spewing forth in volumious taste,
Raw cane sweet and brine finishes, 
surrounded by money piles
Secured by wet lip ****s,
And stone hard jocks,
The rise and fall in the desert,
Licking the delicately gloved hand,
Colored blue velvet 
Kissing her name and petting her persuasion....

Ripe tomatoes in the supermarket
The red tip of my own nose.
Their lime green imagination
Marauded by Edgar Allen Poe.
Her silver dollar face raises hellfire
Says the stringy girl who believes in ghosts.
Goodnight to the lucky cat
Who kisses my cheek with his prose.
Her calico hat sticks to dewy grass
While the hooves of the lumpy deer carcass doze.
The weight of dreams lifted off my shoulders
By the kiss of conciousness on my nose....

So go ahead, do what you do best

Disappear without reason, leave me holding onto blind faith

I guess we're forever stuck in liminal space

I still wish you nothing but the best

For we had our fun, picking cherries in the night

and cutting corners through hellfire

I wouldn't have it any other way

So much fun, putting names to faces

8 different names to ring a bell through the pages

I really, really wish you chose to stay...
