    Into the heart of darkness,
    Viciousness and despair -
    Into the very Tartarus -
    Enters the prince of Air.

    Ceiling is bleak and starless.
    Nobody knows your name.
    Inside the heart of darkness
    Flickers an open flame.

    Everywhere, creeps and scoundrels
    Feeding upon the souls.
    Under the heart of darkness,
    Broken glass and coals.

    Think that I might take flight, less
    I also burn to death.
    But through the heart of darkness
    I must create a path.

    Something ignites and startles
    Amid the sulfur fumes.
    Inside the heart of darkness
    Torment of souls resumes.

    Demons and fiends and gargoyles
    Crowd me on every side
    As through the heart of darkness
    I take a tourist ride.

    Skin catches fire and sparkles
    And from it pours hot blood.
    Within the heart of darkness,
    Boiling and ruddy flood.

    "Have you lost all your marbles?"
    "If I did, would I care?"
    Inside the heart of darkness
    I can't tell here from there.

    Place is unmapped and chartless.
    All roads lead to Rome -
    That is, to heart of darkness -
    And from it rises foam.

    Nothing is seen apart; yes,
    Mirrors on every wall
    Reflect the heart of darkness
    At everyone and all.

    Evil has many partners
    And many a disguise.
    Look in the heart of darkness
    And train your ears and eyes.

    You cannot tell apart us,
    Me and the souls on fire.
    It burns, the heart of darkness,
    Outside, inside, and higher.

    Where do I stand or start? Yes,
    Write with a piece of chalk
    Map of the heart of darkness
    Upon a lotus stalk -

    Lotus that, like most marvels,
    Grows in the thickest mud
    And through the heart of darkness
    Reaches to heart of God -

    There will be no more markers
    Upon my path, as I
    Burn through the heart of darkness
    Into the open sky.

    Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had a couple of psychic experiences in 1990 and 1999
    that make this poem especially meaningful to me.

    The Prince of the air
    Of the heart of the sons
    Of man
    If as 1 is bent upon evil
    Is none other than Satan.

    To run from your own heart,
    Desperately wicked and deceiving above all
    Says yes, but never follows.
    The yeas become no's and no yeas
    These are from own souls.

    Are you in sway to follow iniquity?
    You desire to be as them
    And you allow your lusts to conceive.

    Do not say, when you become
    One, among the crowd with slogans rung
    That you had no choice
    To be free from being one.

    It takes an agreement to be 1
    To walk alongside another.
    And can 2 walk together,
    lest, they agree?

    Police, police. Where are the police
    Those that are supposed to prevent those hearts
    From destroying even so freely?

    It's a benefit to these
    As well to those standing by
    If the police did their job.
    They might have and could
    Save a brigand
    From over-runn-ing the cliff.

    But no;
    Bye bye.

    Life without parole
    25 years or more
    The docket numbers
    From 1 to 1
    Some to the chair
    Others to the bed
    Some demand death
    To the judge's face
    Some mutilate when inside
    Others cry
    People abuse
    Others fume.

    But not so, not so says the righteous ones,
    Had police only done what they were
    Being paid for.

    First offense, if sentenced early,
    Would have only been 1 week community service.

    Ah, but the Prince of the air
    Who is supposed to be so fair
    Angelic, even
    Heavenly.

    The only things they'll leave
    Is a pile of junk on the floor
    That, even their parents
    Will need to clear.

    Sympathy for the devil?
    Here you go
    My floor first.

    Away! Away! You brutish men!
    Leave my life and family from pain!
    Away!

    The next
    Is to share
    This knowledge
    So others may also
    Be free from saying,
    'The devil made me'.

    Serving the 'devil'
    Is serving hearts unclean.

    You don't need to serve evil ones
    If only to your own heart you desire to serve.
    Politics.
    Those in high places.

    Politics, police.
    Still the same.
    If they don't do their jobs
    People wane.
    Mothers not doing their jobs, the same.

    Jobs and duties.
    Even if to Love
    Saves.

    Back in 1990.....(or was it 1991)????
    I was taking far too much of a nutritional product that supposedly oxygenated the blood.......
    and I became rather psychic..........

    ...... one day I saw the aura around a flock of Evening Grossbeaks.......
    each bird had a bright color all their own... bright yellow's, oranges, blues, greens.... if I remember correctly.......

    .... and I met a fallen angel who looked like the mythological Pan.....
    he said to me......."What doest thou here Elijah?"

    .... and I changed my mind about what I had planned to do...... and kind of staggered out of my remodelled prayer closet.......

    Some highly gifted people use the statement that they have friends and family in both heaven as well as hell........ I think that i can say that myself..... even though I am not particularly gifted.......
