The Tumid River of Acheron -The Journey Part One-Revised

The Tumid River of Acheron (the journey) Part One-Revised Darkly, the tumid rushing waters flow where any man most wisely fears to go. Liquid blackness singing in epic pain torture, misery and cries of insane! Echoes of Eperius in the West, shadow realm wherein evil never rests. Black ship of Kharon eternally sail into the sunless land of a dark hell. Land of those lost , family and dear friend exists for all wicked women and men! Black abyss where Apollo never walks, lost souls ripped apart by screeching hawks. Forever filled and by rowboat conveyed miserable, crying souls are relayed. Crossing the tarn of Acheron then, cursing future torments for all lost men. Seething waters that ever separate, those so damn lost to future tortured Fate. Father of evil waters from which sprang, the river Styx of which man's curses rang. Flowing stream holding back evil so foul, where agonizing spirits scream and howl. Acheron, seething lake of scorching heat where demons slash into the souls they eat! Delivered shadows fall onto prayers cast, vanity briefly soothes, forever lasts. Prayers sinking quickly like river cast stones, dreams forming into ghastly skin and bones! Waters that wrap around Haides evil realm with Daimon, evil dark Lord at the helm. Gushing forth from solid bowels of rock, rushing blackened waters rising to shock. Upon its moving mass of wretched stink poison lethal no mortal man may drink. Kharon, the ferryman stands at the oars delivering the lost upon dark shores. Far below the Mariandyni coast, Acheron ferries victims to its host. Loaded within spirits of cries and moans Kharon laughs at all the misery groans! Set upon southern shore of the black sea in sun's light never again will they be. Many dark tales of Acheron's fame, fallen victims weeping in sin and shame. Moans rising as dark waters deliver the wretched lost to painfully quiver. In this dark abhorrent , torturing Hell lost souls living in lustful sin had fell. Robert J.

The journey into HAIDES by way of crossing the Styx. The river Styx is actually an off shoot of Acheron that splits into the Styx and the Cocytus. Part two now has two lines written. It will be titled , Haides 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...
