Purgatory
We're trapped, they said.
I saw it, have you -
The eyes that seemed wild with insanity?
You only get a free one way ticket -
To the place that feeds on the life of you.
It's a crossroad, they said.
One path may lead you to Heaven,
While the other to Hell -
However, did the naivety of your souls
Ever give in to ignorance?
Stealing away
A curiosity that there may be another place,
Hidden from knowledge of death.
Desolation, lifeless loss,
And crumbling hopes -
Of seeing loved ones again -
A harmony of love and peace.
"Get out, run away." They said,
Because a grave is no place to rest.

Exquisite writing. The depth of your words, how they form such a clear picture, filled with such dark and deep imagery is in my opinion is quite extraordinary. Thank you for sharing your gift.
