Volcano

Your honored Majesty
Queen of the underworld,
Why come with hot tongue?
Burning, cooking and burying
Community of peace-lovers?

Persephone
Queen of the Underworld
Wife of Hades
Surrounded by demons
Greek Goddess of spring
Easily tempted
A tiny bit cursed
Full of innocence

fiery opening to underworld
Lucifer’s fire in the night sky
those who were slated to go began to thrash
not sorry to have been corrupt
fearful they had been caught

Underworld

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.

Burning kisses this conviction
Of my want ? Black velvet blue skies.

love from the underground

you are calling for me 
with sweet melodies 
from the underworld,
"Oh Persephone come back to me" 
imbued with sobs,

negligently i slip into your arms -
how dantesque of me to 
conjure an inferno upon me.

Underworld

Sijo-5

          one day accidentally, I stepped into the way which 
          laying in the gruesome air that leads to the netherworld
          the chill and soundless world no one ever been there has returned

Premium Member Persephone returns

Gray,
Dismal
Rainy days.
Then leafless trees,
As it gets warmer,
All start to sprout new buds.
Migratory birds appear.
Abandoning the underworld, 
And the ruler of the dead, Hades,
Persephone returns to Demeter.

Is it rue, my soul, that many times Hade’s gates you have to cross, wisdom to gain?

Rammstein

Beauty of Creation dark.
Genius of the Underworld.
Bats are given wings of gold.
Demon sons, they lie unfurled.
Black is rimmed with diamond lip.
Physical transcends.
And so begins that dark, cool beat -
that once awakened, never ends.

Premium Member The Misunderstood Lord

Oh, Death, Lord of the underworld,

How misunderstood you must be 

For

At the moment it is you who opens the gates of eternity, 

Still 

We, mortals, your coming abhor!

Grief

Grief 

(A lone voice whispers, looking at a photograph)

Do you still miss me
The one you left behind blowing your horn 

When you crossed The Acheron

A

fearless of death heart

* WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS!

This Thing Upon You

We shuffle through the gorse tunnel,
Harsh underworld of impaling thorns.
The reek of alcohol is rising from your back 
Like steam that twists entangling my thoughts
With gut twisting clarity and certainty that
This things is upon you, 
this dark thing.

Premium Member Silver Birds

Bullets are birth control pills of the poor.
Underworld silver birds of war.
Life's wicked schizophrenic twin. 
Swinging from the meat hook mayhem.
The end arrives before life begins.
Tide after tide of wicked intent.
The streets' favorite color 
is the color of death.

Elegy On Rt 9

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.

Deathless

I will hold my hands with an air of grace.
I will walk with an essence that would shame death.
I will stone-heartily smile at the chaos that erupts
Around me.
My face sleek like the underworld
Will shine with the screams of mortal men. 
I shall be proclaimed of Ruin.
The sister of The Dead.
The Mistress of Death

The Book of the Undead Alchemist "

in the sound of metal
in the grind of the night
speaks the priests of underworld delights

arise deceased beast, be yet reborn
rise with blood on your horns~ 
make too your minions, with fire in toll 
burn earth's, evolution and more 

covered in ash, stained with blood
atom Bible, earth's unloved~

Reqium

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.

Capital Territory

Where the most influential persons live
Where the most dangerous goons gather
Where dictomacy where federal agencies
Where evil officers where harmful Psycho clinics
Where false propaganda where Elite Mafia
Where snatching Policy where guided missiles
That place is known as capital territory..
Note. Underworld is the hub of aliens.

Dawning To Death

We need to be careful
We need to be watchful
The way they look
The way they behave
That quirky smile
That signs and signals
That anger and hatred
That hints and cracks
Their Evil Ego
Their underlings and false pretenses could be the dawnings of death.
Note. Body language is the index of mind.
Lesson. Underworld is the world of demons.

Laughing Witches and Ghosts

Laughing witches and ghosts
can't give me shivers,
should I encounter a ghost...
I will not run, but toast;
here comes Bloody Eyes!

There's an underworld known as Fiery Hell
roaming with evil spirits that just chill,
I'm sprinkling some Holy Water... 
they will disappear in thin air;
and back in their dungeon, they'll cringe and yell!

Naika

Underworld gangs are brothels.
Gangsters working in there are sex workers.
Politicians are the clients(Buyers)of these sex workers.
DON is the(NAIKA)of these sex workers.
Police works as a Pimp and law enforcement agencies 
are the spectators and have worn bangles,
ghangri chola,bra,and have become transgender...
Note.My wife is a hooker..
