The Garden of Earthly Delights


The garden is full of what people desire.

Everything you could ever need or want

lies in wait there.

You enjoy the paradise,

meanwhile others are burning

in the flaming city of sin.

They’re seething in pain,

while the little creatures delight in

the suffering.

Some are causing the pain, while

others join in.

Still some are spectators of the

agony within.

When fate has decided

according to your deeds and faith,

where you shall go,

remember the visions he had saw

and what lies down below.

If you had faith

and acted upon it,

you do not need to fear.

Only those who had denied it will be cast from the paradise.

Several of my poems are long. I have some that are short, with not many in between. Most of them are more personal, based on my experiences. My main inspiration is my dreams.
