Dante's Inferno

Dante the depths thou searchest deep

Amidst  the pergatory sleep

Neither living yet not dead

Torn between the sheets of red

Enter and ye lose all hope

Spirit world spirit folk

Inside the dark and black despair

Not leaving till he finds her there

Fraid of nothing his soul may take

Enquires of hell, pleads for her sake

Restless wanting she must be close

Not retreating from what he desires the most

On otherside  craves see her ghost.
