-The Crucible of Hades

     
rivers of fire and woe caress the      
underworld glade; Cerberus awaits      
at gates beginning, the master of      
deaths restraint, trials and coveted      
death knell smiles, like it was the      
impetus for his monstrous black-heart      
of the hound      
     
eternal drifters of the shade trace time            
with dead-finger-lust fantasies, slipping            
over blood laced edges of the dark prince's          
cowl, a prize woven with a prideful-deranged          
laughter and lamentation from more than one          
billion kept deaths; only awarded to those who          
are dead and able to pass:
