Hell is a Doorway

Its arch stands
In nothing
Beckons

Crimson winking its
Knob an
Eye

Grasp and it
Turns you
Open

Into black Love
Is a
Lamp

Sinister laughter mad
Vulture feathers
Fall

Land soft settle
Terra of
Heart

Hear the aria
Every soul
Gouged

Sings breathless
You Crawl
Shame

The light Grows
Brighter onward
Bleeding

Bleeding blood runs
Into sigils
Lamplight

Falls softly summons
Radiant dissimilar
exit

Very visual. Like a dream.

This is one of the interesting pieces that I've read on this site.

Hey, I owe you. Not often someone's work moves me to write a poem in reply.

Thanks,

Dave

You made my day with this. Both because I agree with the sentiment, and because I'm not the only person out there who sometimes answers a poem with more poetry.

Love is a window
pane-less
an invitation

rsvp at will

you forever take hold
but the rim crumbles
beneath gossamer footfalls

you're collapsing
into schism's chasms

looking up, light
blinding

looking down, blight
lining

you expire

in ecstacy.
