Frozen Inferno

**Hey. Here's another, old, but it has to be on my blog, guys. Please comment on this one~




Frozen Inferno


She is but a soul,
drowning in the snaking flames
of eternity log witheld.
Streamed upon a beautious face,
are the tears of blood.
That the angels refused to cry.

And in the darkness she claws,
away at an empty void,
Her voice is cracked, parched dry.
From cries for salvation
never answered by the world around.

When Hell freezes over,
what shall you do?
How can we escape,
a frost so thick.
When our hopes come crashing down,
where are the lies,
That keep us warm and comforted
in our shallow minds?

Is she nailed to a cross,
stained by distant memories,
or is she hiding behind the mask,
so thick and so real.

And in the naked light you can see,
the scars of the world.
Reborn in the ashes,
of her tears.

When Hell freezes over,
where shall we run.
To escape from drowning in the bile
of our incalculable misdeeds.
When faith is frozen in fear,
Where is the blasphemy,
that keeps us uplifted
in our hollow souls?

Her sorrow filled wails,
echo upon the empty winds.
Despair gives way,
to the emptiness.


Have the gates of Eden,
been all but sealed shut
by the greed and the lust,
of all the human lies.

And is she seen,
as all but divine.
In the eyes of a God,
that is dead or a lie?

When Hell freezes over,
where can we hide,
to shield us from our caustic sins,
that slowly burns away our souls.
When all salvation is forsaken,
where is the hypocricy,
that keeps us struggling onward,
as the unforgiven and damned?

  1. Wow, this is really good. Don't ask me what it means, but I can tell it's really good. It reminds me a bit of the poetry in literature books and such, which is definitely good for a writer. Keep it up.

    Oh, and check the third line, pretty sure there's a typo there.

  3. *is happy it worked out for him*

    Mister Ian, the poem is beautiful, but sad. I would love for you to write something that is not so melancholy.. I know this is old though. :]

    Keep writing new stories and poems. Maybe try writing something when you are having a really good day, or when something really amazing happens to you, and then some positive thoughts will flow from your mind to your fingers and grace the pages you type on. ;]

  4. It's nice to see the biblical apocalyptic theme that seems to be all invasive from your older poetry present in this one also with a softer more questioning angle to it.

    It starts with very vivid imagery that tends to mellow out, giving up as you ask the last question which is more sardonic than not. And all the questions give rise to much curiosity, so in that purpose they were successful.

    I'm also curious as to who "she" is. Not being of religion, I have no idea or clue as to who she represents.

  5. Hell hath no fury like a womans scorn, come to mind when I read this and the sense of imminence is gravely apparent...I dunno what else to say other than its amazing, honestly.
