Hell's Sentinel
six magenta eyes
on three heads
a single serpent tail.
firm and resolute,
stands guard
lets no one pass
to or from Hades’ lair.
three heads has Cerberus
each view from a different angle
do what you like in front of this beast
surely it shall never miss
tiniest gesture - a nudge, a dance
smitten smile, or even just a frown
three perspectives
from this monster come
you may do one thing
but your acts betray
your inner motives,
vil or otherwise.
it does not care
what you think it is
a friend or a foe
a master or a slave.
but what matters for sure
is that once you’re locked
inside the lair
there’s no way out
but burn in hell's eternal flame.

My Portrait
If you are to paint my portrait
Make one when I was young
With mane that grew down to my shoulders
not this thin, two-toned hair on my bald crown
If you are to paint my portrait
Make one when I was young
When every day’s an adventure
everything seen was new to my sight
If you intend to paint my portrait
Flatter me with my youth forever gone
Not this wrinkled skin
Each fold a dead weight to the years
With every crease, a pain
If you need to paint my portrait
See me with your young eyes
Not through my blurry eyes
Distorted by sins seen in countless nights.
