I came here for one reason only
--talk away my life of lonely--
everything I'd done before?
was just another memory's chore...

Exciting tales, have I to tell,
about the life I lived in Hell.

Everything. Yes, everything.
Always, ever, just a choice...
and even as I stutter, speak?
Is but a choke of my own voice.

and every verse sounds like a spell,
attempt, to break the binds of Hell...

Loneliness must be the curse
of ones who write poetic verse.
Loneliness is too perverse--
a cursive script of heart reversed...

my heart? Is but the dank ink well...
I dip my quill and write of Hell.

Whew, feeling some anger and pain in here, but how wonderfully you described it. You are a fantastic poet, and I hope happiness finds you in 2001.

we have one foot in heaven....

You've penned this with an intensity I understand and appreciate Serenity ... powerfully written, in words I can relate to ... all too well.  

Best wishes,

oh me twin...you KNOW this is a looking glass etched in gold ...
God I love this poem
and ya know what baby...
somedays it tis a curse...and somedays it tis a gift
and if ya think about it we will be in damn good company and it will be one hell of a party if even half the poets show up  
and you just keep dipping that quill of yours ...
cause reading your heart is HEAVEN TO ME
love ya me girlie
me


Some people find subtlety in strangers
if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know

If ever there was a verse that spoke to me with such depth and such pin point accuracy
it is that verse, amazing poem, excellently written. I hope that the rays of hope and light fall on this hell. sending you hugs and my love.

Hi, welcome to Hades, I'm Sven, and I'd like to welcome you all to eternity. . .

Now then, if you'll just follow me, and try to keep together, there are about a couple hundred thousand of you, so please. . . let's keep it moving. . .

If you look to your left, you'll see a wonderful lava bust of our very own Satan, you'll be meeting him shortly. . .
