Visions of Hell

And when the dust settled
I saw visions of purgatory!
The light and the dark imploding
And a million droplets of blood,
Boiling in the whitest of heat
Drenched in horrid sweat
I dangle from the rooftop
A river of salt rambles beneath me
Bloated torsos litter the shores
A condensed smorgasbord of fetid chaos
Eyes exploding in cavernous sockets
Hairs on fire, for the spirit is burning
Life-force exhumed, back to the maker
Wrung out from end to end is goodness
Gut-wrenching screams, heard throughout oblivion
Eternal agony, unimaginable by the human mind
Hooked backs, impaled groins, severed limbs
Chained were their hopes to their dreams
And both are burning brightly in the abysmal fire
Macabre annals spewed upon sulfurous grottos
Blood-drenched, exposed brains,
Bursting open with pain from their captive cranial tomb
Torn nails, dangling from putrid flesh
As the walking dead flourish from the darkened hallways
Hallways that meet in the longest of corridors
The corridors of a guilty mind!

Dark poems are great,well chosen words.Its right hell can be on earth.It has a good ending,your thinking of one place and then the whole Picture changes.Good stuff.
"Take a spot and hang out cuz it's crowded in hell
you in the belly of the beast now it was heaven in jail,
and ain't guards playin guards, ain't no uniforms
me and you the only one around butt naked bloody and bleeding
with seven demons in your ear got you believing you're a heathen
talk you into pulling out your intestines to get even..."
This reminded me of that song so much, just because of some of the graphic language used in it. This was a very, very chilling poem.
Wow! Talk about surprise endings. I thought you were describing the actual Hell, but it was a guilty mind. That certainly can be Hell, alright!
I can't say this is a pretty poem, but you sure made your point in a very graphic way. Very well written.
Be sure to enter this into the contest about surprise endings. I know you will give me a run for my money.
Welcome !
