Literature Text

From the black abyss, he looks up,
A fluorescent look in his eyes
An unearthly light envelops him
The rebirth after his demise.

A farewell to the realm he left,
His soul escalates beyond the well,
Severing his link from life,
Arriving somewhere far from Hell.

Embraced the infinite future,
Erased all memories of reality,
Not even a hint of rejection
Staying for the rest of eternity

Senses stripped from his mind
Forcibly taken from his soul,
Replaced all with absolute joy
What was broken was now whole.

All thoughts were prohibited
Like an impregnable ivory prison,
Enslaved by the accursed bliss
Locked into everlasting temptation.

Insanity within known insanity
But a broken shell beyond repair
His pale lips wrench into a smile
Untouched by the vines of despair.

Incapable of showing any grief,
Never feeling the need to sigh
Without a tinge of regret in his heart
Intoxicated by an eternal high

From up the precipice, he looks down
A vacant stare from his face
Beside him is whom he called God,
A god in a godforsaken place.
Another narrative poem.

This is my interpretation of Heaven, somewhat inspired by the heaven in Jhonen Vasquez's "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" and some of George Carlin's stage acts. It's also related to my journal entry "Peace vs Existence".

If Heaven were to turn out like this, I'd rather go to hell.
