In a dream of Gods and Devils
In a vision of the night
I watched the stars of heaven as they fell

Messengers of doom foreboding
Voices in a streak of light
That told a terrifying tale of Hell

Hear the whispers in the darkness
Demons with familiar names
Gather in the shadows to conspire

Cast me not into the turmoil
Give me not unto the flames
And let my soul be spared the lake of fire

In a dream of Gods and Devils
In a war of right and wrong
That rages in my conscience when I sleep

Lesser angels come a calling
Kneel before the ghastly throng
That drags my trembling spirit to the deep

Author of my own damnation
See the man behind the eyes
An imperfect reflection of intent

Judge me not before the masses
Strip me not of my disguise
That hides me from a life of discontent

L. Carling c2007

Larry I would love to hear this recited. From those works I have read from you, this steps slightly outside the normal realm or rhyming rhythmacy I have come to recognize from you. I say that admiringly. I rather enjoyed this read. You sir, ought be judged on the roses you collect, and those you issue... and in that, there is none other your equal here.

Larry, if you are seeking respite from the likes of Bosch and Dante, I think the plea falls on deaf ears! great read, though.
