Poem -
TALES FROM HELL
THE PICTURE YOU PAINTED
SO GRAPHICALLY WELL,
DID ALARM,
THE WORKINGS OF MY MIND.
I WAS TERRIFIED, BY THE DETAILS
YOU SO CLEVERLY SHARED,
OF YOUR EXPERIENCES,
IN HELL’S CONFINES.
THE ARMS OF DARKNESS
THAT GRIPS ONE SOUL,
AND FIREY FLAMES FELT,
BUT NOT SEEN.
AND DEMONS LONG CASTS
FROM THE GRACE OF GOD,
WHICH THE HUMAN MIND
CAN NEVER CONCEIVE.
LET NOT MY SOUL WONDER,
IN THAT DUNGEON OF DOOM,
BECAUSE OF A DISTASTE
FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LOVE.
FOR ONES ETERNITY WILL BE SPENT
IN THE TORMENT OF HELL,
OR IN THE EVERLASTING PRESENCE
OF GOD’S UNCHANGING LOVE.
WILFORD BARKER.

You my friend… Are Always kind to this student of poetry..

Thank you Rob.
‘Have a safe and fun filled weekend.
I think you have expressed the universal fear of traditional hell beautifully here Wilford, you have captured in words what the artist expressed in paint. Though for me the images portray our world not the afterlife.... our 'humanity' or lack thereof as we have inflicted every conceivable horror upon each other since we first left the pond so to speak and continue to do so on a daily basis... but wherever 'hell' is, you have perfectly expressed our deep fear of it. Wonderful work x
I so much appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on this poem.
i tend to agree with you on the condition of our world..
and the downward spiral that we are heading in at warp speed.
Thank you again Marion Price.
