Welcome to Hell

This is hell –

A place of blackness and melancholia,

Anguish and pain,

Tightened chest and tear bogged heart;

Longing and sorrow

And perpetual despondency;

A state of internal turmoil

Wondering how Eden turned to Sheol

How the sweet nectar of love morphed

Into Vinegar and Myrrh;

A palace filled with mirthless laughter

And bland delicacies,

Where feasts are filled with sniffles

And the skies are always gray;

It is a heart mourning for its beloved –

At once angry and sad,

Feeling warmth at fond memories

And cold at the loneliness it brings;

It is clarity at what really matters

And regret at the deeds left undone –

Words swallowed, decisions undertaken;

It is helplessness at the finality of a situation

That cannot be fixed –

And the messy trails at any attempt to;

It is the inevitability of a future of gloom.

This is the place where broken hearts live

And true love is interred,

Welcome to Hell.

Trance

I remember a time when my house was your haven

The colors soothed your mood;

There the harsh glare of the sun was shut out

And the cloak of your machismo was shed;

There, you could be vulnerable

And comfortable.

I watched the soft rise and fall

Of your bosom many a time

And read your dreams –

Dreams of bliss riding on contented sighs;

You knew that I knew –

I was the man of your dreams

Watching you whilst you dreamt of me.

I remember a time when I was your safety net

The one you trusted

Trust – hard worn

Proven over time

Kilned in the oven.

I remember –

In the middle of the most mundane task –

How happy I was.

That first poem was very chilling. I wonder what kind of state you must have been in to write something so haunting
