Poem
Hades and Tormented Souls (the Dwelling) (presenting a fragment of the second part promised) Where the dark wind blows, lies abound deep into a ravenous, hellish pit. Lost souls cry and moan deep under ground under evil torture each must submit. Dark Hades, ancients called this gloom agonizing souls, cast into Hell. Hideous monsters working in every room death's stinking odor the smell. Shrill cries from pain immensely great as tortured minds see so clear. The miseries they and others sadly ate embracing the dark seeds of fear. Panic in one room, terror in another burning brands searing souls. So sweet the agonizing cries for mother as demons reach their goals. Each torment according to its worst sin eyes gouged , for depraved acts. Hearts sliced, tossed into a burning bin tongues torched for lying facts. Hands crushed for stealing other's gains whips slashing across bloody backs. Every torture imagined for greater pains even burning in oil soaked sacks. Deepest level, reserved for special guests darkest demons there get to play. Inflicting deeper pain by evil's requests to those that thought never to pay! Where the dark wind blows, lies abound deep into a ravenous, hellish pit. Lost souls cry and moan deep under ground under evil torture each must submit. Robert J. Lindley, 10-07-2015 Previous Note from the Acheron poem: Previously presented was part one- The Tumid River of Acheron (the journey) Part One-Revised. The journey into HADES by way of crossing the Styx. The river Styx is actually an offshoot of the Acheron that splits into the Styx and the Cocytus. Part two now has two lines written. It will be titled , Hades and Tormented Souls (the Dwelling).. I have no preset limit to the second part, may be longer or shorter. I suspect it will be even longer. I hope the readers enjoy this write. I wanted to do something dark and move away from all my love, romance and Nature writes. A bit of variety to stir my imagination... I have made several corrections to this poem in the last few days.
