Inferno
Inferno
I reached the sky on a whim
An impulse perhaps
To share the joy
When clouds rendered the canvas
White on deepest blue
I gazed into heaven
I opened my arms, threw my hands in the air
And splashed a magical liquid onto sky
As the saints do to bless the sinners
Suddenly, sky became ill
Blue turned into gray
White grew darker
The vicious brush of wind
Painted a gloomy image before my eyes
The lightning occurred among innocent clouds
Air heated hotter than the sun
The ravaging thunder followed to ignite it all
The huge clouds exploded
Into burning mushrooms
Blazing clouds collided
Symphony of rage and flame
A harmonic devastation
The heaven was on fire
Then the rain came
My desperate hope to quench the thirst
Of hatred and despair, to calm the air
Yet, from the blazing clouds
Huge columns of fire welded heaven to earth
Calamity spread
It was me who started it all
A cardinal sin I have committed
In the rare moment of joy
When I shared my delight
I’m burning with desire to tell my side
Alas
Who can ever believe my story?
With whom can I ever share my pain?
Who can ever be impartial at my trial?
And
What punishment can ever fit my crime?
