Canto II
Upon entering the vast crystal dome
we venture through the endless
that such vile creatures call home.
Before me, occurring a ghastly sight
of those cursed to these depths
are confined to the blackest night.
Embedded into the surrounding walls,
irregularity complicates the network
when one wanders the immortal halls
of a timeless place that captures its victims
to intensify the thoughts inside their head,
eluding the state of true mortem.
With heavy rope held agonizingly tense
woven within their eyes and mouth
blocking all intellection of the sense,
the creatures meander aimlessly forevermore
nervous and cautious of their movements,
bloodied and grimy from the soot-ridden floor.
I question my Lover out of curiosity:
“Why must these souls dwell in a daunting
labyrinth without physical perceptivity?”
And the Lover addressed sweetly: “My one and only,
Greed is a moral infection of the human mind,
be wary of the heart and the desire Lustfully.”
He then turned, and I followed him through
up to a Beast whom I would not dare test
for he validates the lack of your virtues.
