Inferno's Canto 143

After reading Dan Brown's Inferno and also the classic Inferno of Dante Alighieri, its a shame if i wont give my deepest gratitude to both of these superb writers. So here is a poem that basically turns the horrifying scenes of Inferno into a long journey towards a long lost love of Dante; Beatrice ( why do awesome writers have to suffer so much!?)

"Love, which quickly arrests the gentle heart,Seized him with my beautiful formThat was taken from me, in a manner which still grieves me.

I took the path towards the dark night

Into a place where soul is never beyond

the light

Underneath the pallid land

Where stars aren’t born in the sky

Here in this journey

To seek my beloved Beatrice

And find a cure for humanity

I went down to Inferno

My sight are seared

And my soul is singed

Not with the flames of hell

But because of man’s sins

But my heart still ails for Beatrice

Even if the dark night of my soul

Is upon me

We might dwell in an ethereal plane

But my love for you is still concrete and real

And so my journey will never end

Though I saw terrifying fiends

In the devil ditch of this hell

I will still coming for you my dear

For I believe there is Paradise

And tonight is the beginning of

Forever

Now that I see at the end of the path

A night sky shone brighter than any other star.
