Beguiling Bog Of Fate

The grueling skies are darkened now
as heavy clouds clutch barren ground
through thickened fog there lies a bog
a silent menace, foreboding grog. 

Yet now, against my wiser will
I slog, to view the slimy pit
that locks the suffocating water tight
no ripples flow, no fresh respite. 

A strange attraction draws me in
to meld within this cursed lip of spite 
it carries me down and out of sight
to solemn end, to depth of night.
