Last night I dreamed a deadly dream
A dream which seared my soul
The central character was myself
Going down an abysmal hole
...
What does poetry mean to me
What do I get from a poem
Good poetry is a rhapsody
That makes my spirit roam

Hellfire
Last night I dreamed a deadly dream
A dream which seared my soul
The central character was myself
Going down an abysmal hole
I passed through zones of eternal night
Through zones of searing flame
I saw with ever mounting fright
Outlined in fire, my name
I saw devils, demons, goblins all
I smelled a fearful smell
Until at last I reached a hall
And knew that hall was hell
I screamed, I yelled, I tore my eyes
Away from this damned sight
I felt myself returning up
To the world of song and light
I woke up then and made a vow
That I would change my ways
That I would live a better life
And give to God all praise
