Locked Up Like Lucifer in Hell

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

He gropes for that immortal active verb,

That one you know, that every lover knows,

The total verb just waiting to disturb

The mortal gods that Jesus killed with blows

On spikes upon the central cross which spikes

The universe of love.  Immortal acts,

That word he wants.  He wants the endless Reichs

That Hitler dreamed of, like a verbal axe.

He knows, yes, knows the certain verb exists.

The Allah’s dictionaries hold it pure

As countless virgins.  All the rest subsists

Because of that one word.  His brain is sure.

  The verb will cure his needs if only he

    Can grip his pen and turn perfection’s key.
