Scarlet visions adrift,
permeate the mind
as soul grasps for air.
Thoughts on fire
beckon mid my sleep.
Feel the heat of hell
draw near as the
night lights the way.
Into my nightmares
red devil eyes creep.
Raging embers flash,
breaks the silence
of the eerie red mist.
The sins of man sown
we must now reap.
On the Inferno's edge,
struggling to awake,
flames begin to consume.
Destiny can not be
in pit of hell so deep.
Scarlet flames before me,
mind feverishly searches
for day's crimson sunrise.
So for one more day,
my soul I may keep.

What a delightful look into a dream where hell ends the trip. The reader is drawn into the heat in red devil eyes. Saved for one more day is a great ending. Lots of luck with the contest.

For one day my soul will keep. Hopefully dear not in the firey pits of hell. Only HE can judge our past, but unfortunately many await the others fate...an eternity of hell. Wonderful written poem dear. ~Sie

Wow! This was good! My kind of poetry I must say. Night lighting the way to hell, a really cool take.
I enjoyed the whole thing from start until the end!
Only one thing bothered me and it is the background. To me it didn't feel like a pink / light red poem at all.
Thank you for your entry!
