The River Styx

Forming a crossroad
Between the living
And the dead

Down this river
To the world of evil
Darkness appears
Ravens flying near

The reaper comes fourth
And take souls from the north
Putting them in pain
Making them go insane

Feasting upon there souls
Making there hearts, turn to coal
This is where the dead roam
And call there place home

Kinda a scary write in this one.That is the way satan is going about devouring men and women stealing their joy and life. Keep the creative pen flowing. SK
