‘All hope abandon ye who enter here’.
An inscription at the entrance to hell (from Dante in The Divine Comedy).
I:
Woe to the fallen angel
whose hopes and dreams went to hell.
Lonely cries were never heard
from her dark corner occurred.
Pressure to bear was too much
on broken wings, pained to touch.
II:
Praise to the fallen angel
who bade her heartaches farewell.
One brave soul answered her call
and rode her to beg and crawl –
destined to be a succor
and always be the sucker.
III:
Welcome! Oh, fallen angel
into the fiery pit dwell.
Perish in eternal flame
where darkened souls writhe in shame.
Remember her painful seeds
where bloody salvation feeds.
First attempt at combining elegy and dark (with three stanzas of six lines)…
Author’s personal note: I HATE YOU ALL!
