Oceans
I cried the ocean full of rivers
the day the darkness took hold
My mind split in two
the two halves fighting to find the light
the way out, to emerge whole
The devil on one side, demons on the other
I am stuck in the third circle of hell
with six more to go
not forgetting limbo, a hell of its own
The devil is eager to shake my hand
Dante’s Inferno waits with open arms
By now my mind feels like an ancient ruin
I am on my way to the Salem witch trials
being pierced by a large pin to see if I bleed
hoping to avoid the ducking chair
not forgetting trial by stone
I will my broken mind to move on
Find a river that will take me back to the ocean
home where love is waiting to heal my soul…
