A Certainty of Death

A dantean poem

You've traversed through your earthly plain

Over landscapes of fire

Where the blood of the eternally tormented

Perpetually rains

You've endured such extreme pains

That would drive even my own demons

Unmitigatedly insane

And here you are at last

Upon the shores of my river Styx

I shall give you this one final chance

To turn around and quit

Be assured that up my sleeves hides no tricks

I am offering you the option to pick

Go home now and live to die an old man

Or continue onwards

With your foolish plan

Your lovers soul is mine to keep

But I see in your soul

Your lust runs too deep

Step into my boat

I'll take you across

Soon all hope you think you have

Will be lost

Nevertheless carry on mortal man

I look forward to perpetually torturing your soul

With my own expectant hands
