Purgatory

Contributed by betty on Sunday, 13th June 2004 @ 03:04:37 AM in AEST
Topic: ChristianPoetry



Logic is your enemy
Hatred your lover
Thoughts are mere wishes
Irrationallity a god.

Finally
Stangled by your own hands.
there is no heaven or hell here
only emptiness.

Close your eyes child
There is no escape.
Take a deep breath my dear
This is never ending.

interesting write - i do not believe in hell or purgatory - I believe there is only oneness and it is only achieved after many trials - i would not want to go to purgatory, sounds very frustrating

Oooh, nice . . . sometimes simplicity, succinctness (errr . . . whatever ya call it) gives a poem a lot more impact. So 'tis here, certainly. It's rather different (in a sense) from your other two but by no means in a bad way.

I've always thought oblivion would be more a hell than what so many call hell . . . a concept which you captured beautifully here. I especially liked the use of the "my child", etc. epithets . . . I love the tinge of irony they add to this piece.

I quite like the line of irrationality being a god, but (sorry, my nitpicky side) the misspelling detracts juuuust a little . . . there's a setting where you can have the mods spellcheck your poetry; maybe you could try that? Well, sorry to nitpick. 'Tis quite good over all.

I liked it and this said lots in the short amount but it was just perfect and I love your wording.

Finally
Stangled by your own hands.
there is no heaven or hell here
only emptiness.

Amazing and very well done!
