Styx

Styx


There is a river running deep in the flood gates of hell
 Now is a good time to tell a story I know
 Shades of black tormented in fever pitched gallows
 The sadness of a sin sick narrative has been loosened from it's cattle

 We have run this close not to turn back now
 In the river Styx there are demonic forces loosened for it's hidden courses
 Haunted by the mere elegance of an on lookers crystal ball
 From the culture of death who claim to know it all

 There is a fountain in the center of the river filled with glass
 Shadows with figures only to summon Satan's kingdom
 Fire with leading brimstone shades the view with a dragon who knew
 This is the place where lost souls will roam

 Timeless tortured rats eating at your flesh with disease
 This is not any cool place to become at ease
 The caverns of hills collapsed evil minds that plug destruction
 A heart goes faint in idle frenzy tortured from the heat

 Such as the river Styx filled with new tricks
 Come heed to the masters call before you end up where
 Heavy long hanging viscous fangs that bite by bleeding in the night
 Shades of black haunt you with such a fright !

I love the imagery and depth of this poem. At first glance it's an ode to mythology but beneath the surface lies thoughts to ponder and emotions to lose one's self in.
