Gary R. Ferris Poems

Back to Poems Page

There is a place of total darkness,

Where wine and liquor flow;

Where people that are heartbroken,

Find they have to go.
*****
The lights outside,

They shine so bright;

Can even attract children,

And angels of the night.
*****
The walls are square,

And imitate gold;

Where one leaves sorrow,

And starts to feel bold.
*****
One feels assured,

And like they have a chance;

As a complete total stranger,

Asked them for a dance.
*****




So happy and joyous,

The atmosphere may seem;

But the devil is lurking,

And starts to redeem.
*****
Full of pride,

They boast of their gains,

Until the outside is gone,

And nothing remains.
*****
So cocky and sure,

That they can’t loose;

They can’t see the pain,

And the people they use.
*****
Once they’re awaken,

And see what they’ve lost;

They can’t seem to leave,

No matter the cost.
*****




Now Satan boasts,

Of his newly acquired band;

And the souls he has trapped,

In his lost promise land.
*****
