Hell Does Not Admit Those Who Are Loved

October 28, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week, in honor of Halloween, is the spirit.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

A Halloween poem about how love saves the spirits of loved ones from Hell:

Hell does not admit those who are loved,
All whose joy has been another's joy,
Loved enough to pay their debts in full,
Loved enough to suffer for their sins;
Oceanic love, too much to bear,
Welling up in tears that grace the heart;
Enduring love, that gives life to the dead,
Embracing what now haunts the lonely night;
Naked love that stays hand of Hell.
