No Visitors

I have walked the forests 

Of the damned.

Smelled the stench

Of rotting souls

Among the fallen leaves.


I have sailed the seas

Of the hopeless.

Heard the screams from the deep

As I try, in vain

To sleep.


I have ridden the train

Of terror.

Third class,

Among the gamblers

And the whores.


I searched for a home

Where I could welcome friends, and lovers.

I have found my home,

In Hades

No visitors allowed.
