Hell's Smell

a weave of the tapestry

You’ll never know heaven

if you desire hell

Hell’s not all fire

And brimstone smell

 

Its beauty entices~

So beguiling and pleasing

You find yourself freezing

Your heart breaks in two

 

Hell’s power enthralls you~

It taunts you It wants you

Compassion’s out of fashion

Bid virtue adieu

 

Its passion entraps you~

It consumes you and dooms you

Your hunger not sated

It binds you confines you

 

Intoxication, jubilation,

temptation, starvation

Its victory your damnation

Hell yells with elation

 

With no virtue about

It fills you with doubt

Lust and greed does it breed

Lies and distrust are its creed

 

In the waters of heaven

And fires of hell

A war is a raging

And all is not well…

And fires of hell
A war is a raging
