Hell's Lament Poem by Gabe Razo

I've been to a place
Of infinite nothing.
Where the sky is bound
Only by the limits of the soul.
Where the eyes thirst for anything other then the infinite dark.

I came to a shore
Of eternal waters.
Where the lighthouse cast a feeble light
Upon a ceaseless night
Where the ferryman shall never return.

I heard the cries of desperation
Seeping from the sands below.
Screams so full of regret
Hurt beyond the earthly pain they yearn to feel again.

I stood over a lake of fire
Its flames licking the soles of my feet.
Liquefying the faces of the damned
Mixing them into its vast stew of sin.

Too frightened to gaze upon him.
His thunderous orders ruled above all
A slave master of the boundless army.

Whiter then a blanket of virgin snow.
It beckoned to me, oblivious to everyone else.
Lifting me into it's soft embrace, and raising to the sky.

Not ever wanting to return.
A tear fell down unto its lake of fire,
And all of those who mourned…
