Ah, the bitter apathies,
the miseries
the broken dreams of dawn,
the singulars,
the multitudes
of years long empty seconds
left to waste;

the uglies flail their ancient claws,
the gates of Hell have prissy jaws
and even old beelzebub wears lace;

watch the spreading forearm fields,
the rankly rosy kiss,
the maps to modern treasure troves
of vacillating jests,
the lost, the cost, to know the frost
is laughter's blackest bite,
the barred, the scarred
the tarred and feathered
glaring at the white.

You have such a unique and creative style to your writings. You seem to find the words that I can't seem to. This is great.

(sigh) I don't think it's how the gates are waxed that is important, it is more how far they're left ajar and who keeps watch, and we wonder exactly how much can really step through without tampering access! (sigh) This is very deep and provoking writing, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Mistletoe Angel ~ This is true; I have often wondered if those gates swing out from the inside as easily as they swing in from the outside. Thank you for reading and, as always for your insights.

One dark soul
Does know another
Hellbound bent
I find a brother

I love the tone and imagery in your piece.
