The Pit and the Pendulum
I think I found the prescription for the sickness behind my obvious problems Or I found the key that fits in the lock of the door of ignoring them I’m not sure which one it is But you’ve won, I’m tempted But am I exempted from my duties of holding down the fort when you’re dejected? You’re...

The Pit
A deep deceptive pit One so inescapable and filled with turmoil In this pit a man bides Not by choice, but for no reason Not for treason But for nothing at all Why is it that he deserves a life of torture and hell When a person worse has everything at the ring of a bell...

The Pit of Loneliness
Author Dana Redricks February 3, 2023 How do I escape this pit of loneliness? Do I try to fit in, or cover it up and try to numb the pain, I have tried that, but it only left me feeling much more empty. I know God will never leave, nor forsake me, but the problem you see...

The Pit
A feral battle between two starving men That rages for ages with no knowable end. Deep in the pit, exchange blow for blow No escape, never free, forever held down below. Brown bloodied rags hang off their skin A visceral clash deep, deep therein. Deep beetled brow looks rabidly down Into hopeful pure eyes, neither making a...

In the pit of the darkness it's midnight Cross horizon lots of new day Fluorescent wrong casualties of war Spun out tires the interstate grows Infatuated with the debacry Fathom crew it's all that's lost to me it's new In the pit of the darkness it's midnight ~ On the clouds of righteousness none of this fits Caught up in...

The Pit
When she comes, the greedy sea Eating, biting, with a smile Pretty careless and for free Chunks and pieces for a mile And the beach there helpless lies While it crumbles bit by bit As each precious portion dies And falls in to the watery pit Wendy Nipas...

The Pit of Hell
the Pit of Hell I had dream a broken thoughts Of strange nightmares darkened my dark Lighted by thick darkness no rules no responsibility no order beautified by darkness melody by wailings Coloured by horrors, horrors you have never never seen In the fragility of my dreams The last of hope is lost there even the dead prefers the grave in the grave is RIP In the pit...

The Pit
Deep and dank below this Earth are the burning pits of Hell. All manner of foul beasts in this place do dwell. Ghouls and Ghosts and Demons too all waiting to get free. We wish to surface soon, to rip and tear with glee A Flash of light arises from these depths to the earth above. ...

The Pit
So what is love? A kiss, a touch, a state of mind; A fickle glance, a poet’s line. An unending pit of shame Into which sordid passions rain. A “forever” love I’ll never claim. But wait… Who comes and passes by? He stops and looks back, enticingly shy. He beckons, I follow~~~ Watch out! The Pit!! Too late… I fall ...

The Pit of Sorrow
Out of the pit of sorrow she departs Her breast it heaves with every tear Down a dusty trail of broken hearts When will a kindred soul appear Her breast it heaves with every tear Her heart again opens up her arms When will a kindred soul appear Her eyes betray just a glimmer of hope Her heart again opens up her arms...

The Pit
The pit Hello she said The pit of my stomach dropped An angel spoke The butterflies woke My mind is blank, thinking of something slick, but mute I become. Bye she says and walks away She leaves a beautiful scent, and leaves a trail of feathers she flies off Time came and went Don't know how I...

From the Pit of Hell
FROM THE PIT OF HELL By R. A. Merritt The KKK has got a new name But they don’t wear a robe and hood They’re alternative right and are often polite Like decent people should Yeah they wear suits and ties And have wingtips on their feet And many of them are college grads And members of the elite And you know very...
