Plunging Into the Depths of Tartarus
March 17, 2016
Three coins.
Lamentation.
Soul wisps away…
The ferryman greets me with a wicked grin.
Across the Rivers of Woe and Unbreakable Vows,
towards hell’s gate we depart.
Three heads.
Fearfulness.
Gateway approaches…
Screams of the suppressed whisper through the gate.
The foul fragrance of rotting bones scratches my face.
Joy and hope abandons me.
Three judges.
Anxiety.
Doom decided…
Rivers of raging fire and ravenous scorn lie before me.
Like a dreadful dream,
My eternal torment begins.
