Purgatory

I wonder if God would 

Be spiteful if

He found out that 

I'm in love

With all things

Tainted

I wonder if the Devil

Would be displeased if

He found out that

I'm in love 

With all things 

Pure

Author's Note

It's been a while since the last time I wrote. Writers block can be a terrible pain.

This poem came and snatched me out of my bed tonight. It seems, I have found someone who understands the importance of knowing both of these realms, how else to accurately tell a tale if you have not stood on both sides of the river? Too many writer/poets (people, myself included) rush to claim the high ground, but this makes us hypocrites who refuse to be honest with ourselves, refuse to explore that other part of ourselves; no, we do plenty of that when nobody's looking. Instead the "artist" should admit to their darker nature ––– not embrace it ––– or accept it, but just admit to it.
Then, the writer is again whole, the writer has merged. Free to create without guilt, without bias.

Sorry about the mini rant here, Phoen-ix, but I get excited when I find another who admits,
to their purgatory.

This is splendid. Speaks to me of the epic battle between good and evil and of course your purgatory in between. A great commentary on so much of life and can be extrapolated to so many different levels. A great write. Enjoyed it for sure.

Now This is a poem! Purgatory indeed..so simple but deep at the same time. Wonderful

[Not Your Typical New Yo..]

I'm actually in the process of Writer's Block...mostly it deals with whether or not the novel in my head is actually worth my time writing. Anyway, enough of me. I really, really like the idea here. It questions of Faith. We all want to go to Heaven and avoid Hell. Yet, we humans know we have sin, because we're not perfect. So would God allow us in Heaven if we have sin, and would the Devil hate us because we haven't sinned enough to please him?

and this is how it is in the hearts of humans. Well penned, thoughtful poem.

Ahh, those thoughts only poets have. Well done!

In the midst of the deep poetry, I found this to be very pretty. The way the poem is columned and the rhyme pattern is just lovely. Great job
