Yours Sincerely, From Hell
Radhika Krishna Nov 2019
Take me to the mountain top
I can't see the stars from down here
Around me, fall the raindrops
So scarlet and salty and near
You promised to let me fly away
So far, so high, that I'd burn with the sun
Burning, I am, indeed; it is my price to pay
For the lives of more than one
I told you that i wouldn't go astray
That I wouldn't hurt a single soul
But sorry can't save me now anyway
Not when my sins have filled me whole
The whispers of the ****** don't bother me anymore
And I've stopped yearning for a Church bell
When I scream for you on this bloodied shore
I hope you can hear me from the pits of Hell

Gateway
Radhika Krishna Nov 2019
My toes are frozen, my fingers are pale
And my lips are purple and blue, purple and blue
The cold shrouds me in an icy veil
And the sky has no colour, not a single hue
The wind howls with its darkest fury
And the trees are swaying with gaining fervour
The splattering hail makes the windows blurry
And the darkness prevails, no longer obscure
I stand at the heart of this bitter storm
Waiting for it to sweep me away
To wipe my thoughts just as they form
To the Land of Death, this is my gateway
So consume me, within, without
Burn me, with your frigid rage
I am a madman without a doubt
Who's been left too long inside a cage
With one last laugh, I look at the sky
Up and away, I watch my soul fly

The Next Adventure
Radhika Krishna Nov 2019
After all these years
After all this time
I've reached the last chapter of my story
And I'm ready to face Hell's Jury
As I watch the sun go down
I know that my time is near
That time is of the essence
But I am calm and without fear
As I feel Death's presence
This life has given me
The great burden of wisdom
A burden that I'm ready
To trade for eternal freedom
A lust to know the unknown, I find,
Inside of me, it cannot be punctured
And after all to the well organised mind,
Death is but the next great adventure

— The End —
