Claire's Love In Hell

Claire's hellish romance
Blissful with glittering scars,
Her quaint lover mugged
Her docility, bridling
Her marriage with sweet sorrows

Premium Member Hellish Condemn

Laments surrounded
Disfigurated faces
Suffering dolor 
Purging for their heinous sins
In the eternal red flame

Hellish Noise

For hellish
                noise,
               no need
               hell... enough
               have congress...!
                of Politicians...!

The Hellish Freak

Centuries’ hazardous, murderous freak
        Has fallen upon Muslim simple people,
          Rohingya of Myanmar is so direct
                  Trembling the devil.

Shall I Compare Thee To a Summer's Day

Shall I compare thee to a hellish hound?
Thou art more lovely but of the same mind.
Rough winds may shake you but you won’t be downed.
As summer divided us, I was blind.

Excessive Warmth

These hot summers are
like a hellish furnace
It's no one's fault
but all I can feel
Is mild annoyance
at the hot weather
And a deep desire to hide
and try to stay cool.

Premium Member Ready To Blow

There are five volcanoes ready to blow Thousands are in the path of the lava flow Many will perish A scene quite hellish Nature will soon exact her deadly blow

Agent of Darkness

We became an agent of darkness

And together we traced our steps 
into the boldness of the cold night

As we listen to the drums of hell
in our hellish garments like a fallen angel.

Truth In Default

All the young Jews,
all the young Christians,
all the young Muslims,
debt to confuse

Abraham crying,
prophesy fading,
hellish debentures
—Heaven to lose

Demons Within

the demons within destroy without
we look, consumed by flame
cackling at the peoples tortured shout
laying on them all the blame

lost inside a hellish prison
anger flares, consuming all

Premium Member To See Viscerally

  
     The trees bent their boughs over the road
         shielding the drivers’ eyes

      From omens unwelcome in hellish skies
          through which blood-red entrails flowed

World of Hurt

Painful lies,
broken ties.
Burned down dreams,
razor-ed seams.
Hellish fire,
ruined empire.
Bloody cuts,
hopeless "buts."
Hurtful words,
"You deserve..."
Silent cries,
regretted goodbyes.
Baby, it's a World of Hurt.
Form: Couplet

Free

Beauty unfortold. 
Land unforseen.
Life unfold.
Hellish fiend.

Friend and foe
choose your path
For no one knows
one soul's wrath

Love give and take
Yet not from me.
My soul is careless
My heart is free.

Daydreams

I've made an art form of longing
A career of wrecklessly pining ,escaping the long hellish hours that stand in my way
Images of beautiful eyes
Whispering secrets
Mind wide open, I sit here sleeping
Wasting my days

Premium Member Hell's Bells

“Hell's Bells” what in hell does that mean An expression I've heard since I was a teen Do they have bells down there When you get seated in a chair Preparing you for a barbecue, what a hellish scene

My Most Favorite Dish

You have made my mind fully hellish
Yet you are my most favorite dish!

You have made scandal so many times
I can’t help writing very sad rhymes!
 
When I think of making love with you
Then it seems I am caged in a zoo!

Premium Member River's-Life's Edge

The misanthropic ants
crawl on reality
as I sit by
     the river's edge

ruminating on
hellish collapse

meditating on
peaceful solitude

The river’s undulations
caress reality
as I sit by
     life’s edge

From Out Desire's Lake

Rageful-mouthed, lustful-eyed
With a multiclawed greed.
Of no monster of myth, a man
For what's patterned after!

Rising out from which lake
Boils for hellish desires
Of all such manifestations
Most needs subdue; smother.

Premium Member Handsome Harry and Hayseed Hank Handle Honey

handsome Harry hastily harnessed hazardous hayseed Hank
heightening his hellish heebie-jeebies.
Hank helped Harry handle hordes of high-spirited hitchhikers
heaping a hodgepodge of hocus pocus on Honey,
Hannibal’s handsomest hog

I'M Surrendered

You can blame me as a nefarious devilish being
Your judgment can convict me as a hellish king
But I'm a surrendered creation from the womb
Where my birth has cultivated my ultimate tomb

That Night

Tears are etched into my face and pillow
In the mirror I see and in self pity I wallow
Memories return from that of last night
To put it simply, the events still cause quite a fright
Put in more complex version
It was a hellish mental excursion
Form: Rhyme

Time's Passageway, Carnivalesque

Mysteriously intimidating.
Intensely disturbing.
Dim, smoky, noisy. Of what force
Hellish, so pushed on down?

Where a changeful melt of figures, faces
And worse, feeling phases
From out its walls, grasp at attentions
Does ooze. Life's renown!

Premium Member The State of His Hair

Girls and boys
pick up your toys
Your playground
has been shut.

There’s a man out there
with greasy hair
hellish hankering
in his gut.

That’s what we thought
till Joey’s father was caught.
He was clean shaven
with neat crew cut.

Gone Are the Days of Happiness

Gone are the days of happiness
Cause I made mistakes I confess 

Smiles were on my face now and then
Anxieties were not in my brain

Good were the days when you were with me
Sweet were your kisses as it should be

Hellish life was beyond my dreams
I left you for worse now it seems
