The Miserable End of a Failed Hero

Posted in Poetry English by

A brutal dialogue between a broken mortal and a mocking god.

_____________________

Receding deep into yourself, being enfolded in layers,

blanking out the chaos of complicated relationships

Tightly wrapped within a cocoon of your icy, cold self,

the harsh and cruel reality is the one and final eclipse

That is your nirvana, that is your long, torturous bliss,

that’s what’s written by fate, in all its useless scripts

_____________________

Your cocoon will hang forever - the dangling shell,

on a grey cracked wall, in the hall of eternal sadness

There it will hang, and you will squirm deep within,

away from the merry crowds, the throbbing madness

That will be your heaven, and that will be your hell,

both equally quiet, under the ever-ruling darkness

_____________________

When the bored God visits and knocks at the cocoon,

asking if you are still alive within the silent confines

You will scream from within, a long tormented wail,

‘I did what you asked me to do, I followed all the lines

I crushed my own ego, I buried it deep and still alive,

damning myself to patience, despite all the odd signs’

_____________________

And the God will laugh, He will laugh long and hard,

‘you pathetic asshole, you miserably crawling bastard

You tried to fight fate, but you failed to learn from life,

you were no crowned hero, you were merely a dastard

Now burn forever in your heaven, as it is also your hell,

self-torture is the only art you have really mastered’

Our Heaven is Here, Our Hell is Here

Posted in Poetry English by

What if heaven and hell aren’t places you go after death, but consequences you create with every action?

______________________________________________________

For those who look up to the skies with searching eyes,

look all around us, our heaven is here, our hell is here

They are all liars, the holy ones with their beseeching cries,

they do not seek your salvation; they simply do not care

______________________________________________________

When you smile with joy, seeing a lovely piece of art,

the beautiful flowers of heaven, you can indeed smell

When jealousy scars your soul and burns your pure heart,

you can feel the searing heat of the flames of your hell

______________________________________________________

When you taste your lover’s kiss and her warm embrace,

the cool breeze of heaven surrounds your whole being

When betrayal murders your ego and brings you disgrace,

the fires of hell consume you without you ever seeing

______________________________________________________

When you choose to be kind without any expectation,

the rain clouds from heaven drench you with humility

When you are selfish and within reach of damnation,

the serpent of guilt suffocates you with sheer hostility

______________________________________________________

When you hold a tired hand much in need of your help,

your heart becomes heaven, filled with His affection

When you hit a dog without any care for his yelp,

the poisonous scorpion of Karma makes its own selection

______________________________________________________

There may come an end, there may be a judgment day,

you may be judged by Him; He may be kind or merciful

But when you make a choice, you always have to pay,

you may create an ugly hell or a heaven so beautiful

Your Hell is here; your heaven is around

One doesn’t wait for them to be found;

one doesn’t wait for them to be earned

Your hell is here, your heaven is around;

and so far this is all that I have learned

Read more: Your Hell is here; your heaven is around

The day of judgment comes every day;

apocalypse invisible, but it is all around us

You have to see beyond your foolish way;

and no need to make a big damn fuss

Your heaven exists in the smile and admiration;

the ones that you love and fondly cherish

Your hell resides in the jealousy damnation;

foes, you would like to see gone and perish

Your heaven is the warmth of satisfaction;

glowing in your forgiving and kind heart

Your hell is the freezing regret and inaction;

that has been always there since the very start

Your heaven is the affection that you always get;

dispense to those few who merit and deserve

Your hell is the hatred that you sometimes beget;

the one which burns and the one you serve   

Your heaven is all the troubles you ever defeat;

dilemmas and conflicts that you always solve

Your hell is the troubles that bind your feet;

acid that dissolves your steely resolve

Your heaven is the character that you build;

slowly and gradually, over a period of time

Your hell is the overwhelming wave of guilt;

that brings in the filth, stains, and the grime

Your heaven is the company of loving friends;

the company that keeps you happy and warm

Your hell is a long winter night that never ends;

loneliness – a devastatingly silent snowstorm

One doesn’t wait for them to be found

One doesn’t wait for them to be earned

Your hell is here, your heaven is around;

and so far this is all that I have learned
