your halo transformed to a pair of horns
you made a queen with a crown of thorns

My laughter turned into silent screams
nightmares made me forget my dreams
I became cold, numb and confused
feeling used, abused and all bruised

I prayed but my voice wasn't heard
you made me think, what I said was absurd
I forgot how to dance, sing, and smile
became a loner bitter and hostile

You wrapped me more each time you'd lie
turned into thunderous gray my blue sky
nothing mattered nothing I cared to see
death was all I prayed to come for me

I asked you constantly where was heaven
but you left me alone crying in this awful cell
so I became uccustomed to your dark haven
now I am a monster I see it so well

now you are who complains about me
and gets so confused when I angrily yell
you ask where is that angel I used to be
but now its me who says Welcome to hell.........

midnight rain
and sizzling tires
hypnotize the city

as i sail down sixth
foggy steam settles,
liquid weight
sinking my conscious
blurring
white and yellow lines

street lights melt
against the windshield
streaming down
in random
florescent
dizzying
beads…


pop-pop-popping gravel
grade the undercarriage
whoa…shit!!!
i pull the wheel left
of instinct

my blood pumps
in my throat,
a boney hand
pressing my larynx
and jugular
bulging my eyeball veins
scratched by the sands
of sleep


as adrenaline fades
i turn on the a.c.
wipe my forehead
and blast the radio
and old Elvis song
zz…going to a party
at the county jail…zz

the rain subsides
to neon signs
flashing…pointing
toward a driveway
THE BRIMSTONE BAR AND GRILL
“every hour is happy hour”

parking lot’s empty
but i see a crowd
thru the window
a cowbell rings
as i open the door


“what’s your pleasure?”
asks a dark handsome bartender
“ah, coffee…hot and black”

“like your women” ha, ha

there are no tables
just booths
wound in a maze

i walk around a corner
a woman in red
touches my arm
sending a wave of chills
to my shoulders
settling in the roots
of my hair
“buy a lady a drink?”


“my name’s Samantha
i work for free choice
have you heard of us?”

“yea, you’re that pro-abortion
group that rallied at the Spectrum
last weekend”

“pro-women’s rights.
why are you here?”

“i pulled over for coffee”

“yeah, right,” she snickers


we walk past booth
after filthy booth,
an ammonia smell
mixes with ether and alcohol
like a hospital trauma ward
or nasty book stores in Jersey

in booth thirteen
a man’s kissing a man
while a gorgeous blonde
watches
and madly fingers herself

“who are those men
in booth thirty-one?
looks like they’re playing cards
poker, blackjack, or something”

“mostly doctors and lawyers”
she says with a wink
“they lust for money
and power vice sex”

four men take turns
with a redhead
on a table for two
filling each orifice
i cringe as she screams
mad, erotic curses

number nine’s a dilly…
a man’s getting a blowjob
while loading a syringe
when the woman finishes
he shoots her again


at last the bar
“ a drink for the lady”
i shout to the tender

“Samantha,” he yells
above the loud metal music
“the usual?”

“yeah, Stan, cocaine
and a Collins”

she pulls out a joint
pressing it to my fingers
“no thanks, i’m driving”

Stan stares at Samantha
they stare back at me
and laugh to hysterics
tears pour down
their quivering cheeks


i toss him a five
and push the door open
but i step in a cellar
and smell rotting flesh

men and women in bondage
are being sexually tortured
i see a young boy
emasculated and crying
“help me, mister
help me!”

i shove back thru the door
into the club

“Samantha
please tell me
how can i leave here?”

she presses against me
runs her hand up my thigh,
“you can’t get out, silly boy
why do you think
they call ‘em bars?”

Re:Welcome to hell

On high cliffs a mind slips off with a loss of its mental grip
endorphen ice chips drain rain down filling cavernous pits
creating steam caustic in the flameing abyss minds of the remisce
thoughts of wrong doings perform tumbles and flips wondering which
bumbling wish weather crumbling hindsight caused a reactive twitch
and that demon or this placed hate on the trigger and pull it like this
blowing candles of life out extinguishing wicks! catch a penalty oh shit!!
its dark in this pit!! loud and devoid of light and hot in this bitch!!
no water to quench the tonsils creating mist in which to
qwell thirst the liquid boils when one spits! welcome to hell!!
the devils oasis of bliss! lava bath of the sick! caustic realm
of those wronged or killed by the spastically vish! (viscious)

Excellent material for a surrealistic presentation. Needs to be redone Needs versification. Sounds and looks like notes for a great poem relevant to the "Welcome To Hell" theme. (Xylo, which I suspect is the abbreviation of xylophone-lol) needs to rework this piece, please.

The rapes you committed the lives that you took,
Like the couple you killed while they sat at the brook.
Your father and mother they raised just right,
Showing you the light but you walked in the night.
On their knees they stay praying that you'd be changed,
You listened to my voice and became more deranged.
That's when it all started you joined with my force,
You killed the young and old completing the course.
Your blood path reached heaven God gave me your name,
Your parents sent their prayers I'm glad that you’ve came.
Welcome to hell where you don't want to be,
Your parents tried to tell you not to listen to me.
When you started killing and the word got to them,
They asked God to deal with you and all this mayhem.
God gave you to me and said torture him well,
So stop all that screaming and welcome to hell.

Re: A poetry challenge

I'm new to this website. I saw your challenge and decided to post my poem. It was originally titled "Edge of (In)Sanity", but it certainly fits the Welcome to Hell theme. I'd certainly like to know what everyone thinks.

Re: A poetry challenge

Welcome To Hell

Welcome to hell can you feel the flame
You did it to yourself, you are the one to blame
See you were given guidence on what to do
You are here with me cause you did what you wanted to
Don't be mad cause you're down here with me
You had a life time to make change now you're stuck here with me
So don't you cry, it's too late for that
It's hot as hell down here and the fire is running up your back
Now make yourself comfortable cause I'm going to get to know you well
You should have stayed on the straight and narrow path now welcome to hell

Re: A poetry challenge

People don't get over hell when they dwell on it.I know you don't want my opinion either.I understand your point.Why do you want to dwell on peoples burdens?Not to be an ass.Just asking. oh oh

Re: A poetry challenge

because for a lot of creative types.....me included.......going through hell and really having to struggle with an issue or getting your smashed once again or internal conflict or depression and profound sadness inspires us to develope what ever art form we are drawn to........you can't have me believe that you never went throgh a hard time and came out better from it due to being able to express it all in a creative way.....thats why !!!!!!!! rolleyes

06-01-2009 at 08:56:39 AM

Re: A poetry challenge

if you didnt like the challenge....then you should not take it but don't fault those who did take it and created great poems!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats what self expression is all about........thank you rolleyes

Re: A poetry challenge

sherriee1........i love a poem based on something positive as well......i'm just not so good at writing them.....you should send out a positive poetry challenge that is a direct contrast from the one I put out. like a "when you walk through the gates of heaven" or a " what would you say to saint peter at the gates" or " life review with god" something like that. or any other challenge you can come up with to get creative and positive juices flowing.......i can't wait cool smile

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
