Blood, Fire, and Brimstone


Eyes close to the world forever
Turned inside, sealed in death
No welcome to this new existence
Burning blood is on the breath

Now all twists gruesomely,
Convoluted body turns its hide
Folds of skin at the core
Organs meet air, lidless eyes wide

No protection from biting sand
Rough pumice under feet
Then the screams reach your ears
Smell the flesh like cooking meat

Nerves so tender, grated, snapped
Fire ravages your veins
Demons dance and rape and lance
Stiletto fingers tearing brains

Over and again, an endless torment
Suffering eternal is hell
Pain continuing, ever creative
Deaf to all but Savagery’s knell
