A Love So Deeply Buried
This hole of darkness closes in, mine eyes have seen the truth,
lest terror lead me into sin— my heart sings pure, forsooth.
Nor angels show thine sway to thee nor grace thy hallowed halls.
Flesh fortress walls beseech thee not to heed my tortured squalls.
✵✵✵✵✵✵✵
With hateful hands thou placed me here, deep down beneath the earth.
Forsaking all that’s good in me—destroying life’s sweet mirth.
Can nothing touch thine hardened heart? For death is cold and gaunt;
hath not rhyme's reason gone astray to fly thy soul avaunt?
✵✵✵✵✵✵✵
The precious air hath trickled out—my time is drawing nigh.
Death’s minions scream—O’ how they shout— as I'm condemned to die.
Thy vassal I once was to thee who hung on ev’ry breath.
Still breathing, thou hast buried me, and sentenced me to death.

No, Lisa, that's not true. You're a brilliant poet, we just have different styles is all.
I love your work and will always remain a huge fan for as long as I'm here.
I missed reading your poetry while you were gone.
I thank you very much for weighing in with your thoughts on my own.
Horror Hugs!

My Dear Dean,
Too late the Sinner tries repent
He knows his time is short
He feels the bowels of Hell close in
He tries one last resort
.
He shows remorse for his wanton ways
He reaches out to the Lord above
But it is too late for forgiveness
When his whole life, he has eschewed His love
Love you,
Larry xxx

banished to a life, paying for sins unknown. this feeling really does make you feel hollow inside
Thanks for your assessment, Sarah.
You hit the proverbial nail on the head.
Take care,

I'm glad this came across to you in that way, Tina, because that is precisely what this poem is about.

Loved this very much! I enjoyed the flow and rhythm of this. Wonderful work. <3 Would love to step into your dark mind but I don't think I would make it out alive! I love the way you think though.
Hahaha, I'm really a pretty laid-back kinda guy in reality, Michelle.
I get all of the "poison" out of my system by putting it down on paper.
You would make it out just fine, I'm sure.
Thanks so much for reading and the fun review.
Horror Hugs!
