The Cabin - - - inspired by Sunwolfe 1745
The cabin on the hill
Sits so well in the darkness
It never seen daylight
Bathed in black tar night
Never seen a moonbeam
Dance on its rooftop
Deadly nightshade is all
That grows around it, that
And charcoal blades of grass
There is no atmosphere
No oxygen, no carbon dioxide
An evil mist surrounds it
Black lightning crackles
Grizzly growling thunder
Visitors are not allowed
Abandon hope all who
Wish to enter its walls
Only death awaits you
This is my place
For me alone
Just me
Mine
The door opens slowly, creaking
Inside a coal black, dank room
I see visions in HD plus
I can feel them
I can smell them
They hurt like the first time
The grabbing, the forcing
The screaming, the sobbing
Cries out to god ignored
A god that permits
A child sex slave for
7 years (his number)
By the hand of his people
There is no sleep
There is no peace
There is no redemption
The cabin on the hill
Is inside my head
And in that space
I am putting change on the agenda
The cries of no more are no more
I am gonna burn it down
I approach with gasoline in hand
I douse the walls and floors
To shouts and screams of No!
I fill my lungs and breathe fire
My demons scream now
As my fire melts them down
The cabin on the hill
Is raised to the ground
All that’s left is a small wooden box
And in that box
I torture those who tortured me
My hate and rage righteous
Aimed now only at the guilty ones
I keep my life for it is mine
They can’t ever have it
They will never
Ever be
Victorious

David, you honor me so. My eyes brim over. Oh god, that house..... To raze it to the ground, I am so very tired of living there all alone. From the depths of the flames I stand arisen, stronger for the forging. I tell myself that and hope that I am going through the forges now:-). Again, thank you from the depths, that I influenced your words humbles me.

To stand in the fresh air and watch it burn...taking all the moments of hell with it. I've set flames to bits and pieces over the years. I'll stand and hold your hands while they all burn. Proud to be with you both. So many hugs!

Robert, your words were inspirational. why would that be difficult to believe.:-) write like a madman and make no one else suffer, especially the innocents. Only certain guilty people deserve our hate and rage. Hang in there, your gonna make it, I can feel it :-)

A devastating read, yet empowering as well. To comment on the poetry and imagery would seem like mockery of what you were forced to endure. But endure you did and now you have incinerated your demons. An astounding write David!
