Within the vast suburbia of Hell, Sequestered in his dingy, private cell (Which lacked a window or a padlocked door), Our reprobated hero paced his floor. Not his the gaudy blaze of punishment For those whose lives in cruelty were spent; Titans of wickedness whose earthly years Could rightly measured be in others’ tears, Whose […]
ASH IS THE QUINTESSENCE A universe of verdant tapestry Outpaces each horizon’s mammoth rim; The multitudes of lavish forestry Shall make a soul with wonder overbrim. Then beauty breathes its last as horror blooms Into a vastness of great sylvan gore, A dread arboreal expanse of tombs That usher forth a mimicry of war. Warfare […]
